Christopher J Russo

What this record tells you

Christopher J Russo holds Florida licence MRSR5024, a MRSR classification which authorises work as a licensed mold remediator. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 67% of the 33 active mold remediation licences based in the Port Charlotte & Punta Gorda area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Christopher J Russo is one of 14 active mold remediation licences registered to an address in Punta Gorda, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 07/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
