Don't take our word for the license. Check it.
Sterling's Florida mold assessor license is MRSA5798 and its mold remediator license is MRSR5761. Both are public record, and verifying one takes about a minute — here is exactly how.
Short answer
Every Florida mold assessor and mold remediator must hold an individual license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation under Chapter 468, Part XVI. Sterling's are MRSA5798 (assessor) and MRSR5761 (remediator). Enter either in DBPR's public license search and the record shows the licensee's name, license type, current status, and expiration — no account needed.

Enter MRSA5798 or MRSR5761
Search by license number. Assessor licenses start with MRSA; remediator licenses start with MRSR. A company that can't give you an individual's license number is answer enough.

Match the name to your inspector
Florida licenses individuals, not just companies (Chapter 468, Part XVI). The name on the record should be the person who actually shows up at your property. For Sterling, that is the assessor on our team page.
Why make a page out of this? Because unlicensed mold assessment is a crime in Florida — §468.8419 sets escalating criminal penalties for practicing without complying with the licensing part — and yet most people never check. The license is the floor, not the ceiling: it tells you the person is legally allowed to do the work. Independence — no remediation by the company that inspected, no referral fees, published pricing — is what you should demand on top of it.
Verified license. Published prices. Independent findings.
That is the whole pitch. Check MRSA5798 and MRSR5761 first, then tell us about the property.
