Tarkington Home InspectionsBio
With over 20 years of experience inspecting residential and multi-unit properties throughout the East Bay area, I bring specialized knowledge and a passion for helping clients understand their homes.
Professional Background
• Founded Tarkington Home Inspections in 2003

• Former CREIA chapter president
• Active member of Golden Gate ASHI chapter (GGASHI)
• Website committee contributor
Personal Interests
As an East Bay native, I value our region's diverse architectural styles and natural beauty. When not inspecting homes, I'm developing California native gardens on two properties. My previous gardening efforts successfully supported the life cycles of hundreds of monarch and swallowtail butterflies through cultivated milkweed and dill, soon to be replaced with yampah, habitats.
Philosophy
I believe the home inspection process offers more than just a report—it's an educational opportunity. My goal is to help you understand how various systems in your home interact, giving you deeper insight into your current or future property.
Property Types
- Multi-Family Homes (Condos/Apartments)
- Single-Family Homes
