Reckner Certified Home Inspections

Reckner Certified Home Inspections has operated in Northeast Ohio since 2006, founded by Steve Reckner as a family-owned inspection firm serving Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and Medina. The company holds multiple certifications and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. With over 1,074 five-star reviews, the team has completed more than 15,000 inspections across the region, becoming one of the most reviewed home inspection companies in Ohio. Homebuyers in Summit, Stark, Medina, and Cuyahoga counties trust Reckner for detailed assessments before closing.

What distinguishes this company is their commitment to comprehensive inspections without nickel-and-dime pricing tactics. They offer free thermal imaging (a $225 value) with every standard inspection, helping detect moisture intrusion and insulation gaps invisible to the naked eye. Unlike inspectors who subcontract specialized testing, Reckner performs sewer scope inspections, radon testing, mold sampling, and termite inspections in-house, giving homeowners one cohesive report. Their protection plans, Platinum Roof, SewerGard, Mold Safe, and Radon, extend beyond the closing date, covering remediation costs for issues discovered within the warranty period.

Reviewers consistently mention three team members by name: Steve Reckner, Bill, and Dan. MaryJo Favitta described a three-hour inspection where Steve, Dan, and Nick examined the house, well, and septic system, explaining every finding while answering dozens of questions. David Banks praised Bill for removing his shoes before entering each room and presenting a detailed binder covering current issues and future maintenance needs. Marielle Muncy noted that Steven Reckner brought additional team members to complete the inspection efficiently, then walked her through each section of the house afterward. The negative review from Jay Will cited concerns about liability language in reports, a common practice among high-volume inspection firms.
