About The Owner

Owner Tricia Morin has been in the Home Building business for 35 years building custom homes in Southern New Hampshire. Tricia began her career as an accountant but felt the calling of the housing industry. Apprenticing in the field for eight years before choosing her niche as a fine finish carpenter specializing in building ornate custom staircases, her areas of knowledge include residential construction issues, residential building codes, life/safety regulation, accounting, real estate conveyancing and non-profit administration. She is currently the President/Owner of Tarkka Homes, Inc., a custom home builder based in Hopkinton, NH, and servicing southern New Hampshire since 1990. She was a partner in The Abacus Group, a lobbying firm specializing in government relation services on behalf of the residential construction industry. Her focus on consumer protection and housing affordability for both builders and homeowners has made Tricia an expert on these matters and often sought for consultation. She has dedicated her adult career of public service to non-profit organizations which include serving as the Builder representative to the Board of Directors for a five-year term at NH Housing (NHH) as appointed by NH Governor Sununu. 

Tricia is a prime advocate on builder issues and continues to be a leader on balanced regulation of the housing industry. Among her achievements, she actively took part in the drafting and passage of enabling legislation for Accessory Dwelling Units and has testified before the New Hampshire Legislature and the New Hampshire Congressional delegation in Washington DC. Tricia is a past VP/Treasurer of the NH Home Builders Association (NHHBA) and past-President of the Seacoast Home Builders & Remodelers Association. She was recognized as the NHHBA Builder of the Year and was also the recipient of the prestigious President’s Award from the Seacoast REALTOR’s Association for her work as an educator on real estate ethics and her community service. She developed a fundraising program to financially aid those in need with emergency housing repairs, a program that has continued to help those in need since its inception in 1997.

Tarkka Homes, Inc. has been a trusted Custom home builder Concord NH for over 35 years. Our founder, Paul Morin, believed in The Golden Rule as the basis for everything Tarkka stands for. Our President and Owner, Tricia Morin, continues that philosophy and as a woman-owned, Custom home builder Concord NH entity, she brings a unique focus to our clients looking for an experience that delivers more than a product. 

Tarkka legacy began in 1990 and involves so much more than just building homes. It consists of the relationships we create, our involvement within our community, ethical practices, and the deep respect for the clients with whom we engage and have placed their trust in us. Tarkka Homes has held membership in the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), New Hampshire Home Builders Association (NHHBA), and Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire (BIA NH) for many years. We believe that aligning ourselves and staying active within these professional trade associations keeps us informed and up to date on the latest code developments, standards which are constantly evolving, and delivering to our clients the best practices expected within the construction industry. By regularly educating ourselves on the many aspects that go into the Custom home builder Concord NH field, it enables us to keep abreast of modern building science and responsible construction, delivering the highest quality home to our clients. This results in Tarkka building beautiful, safe homes that not only look great, but are built with the craftsmanship and performance to last for generations.

Tricia Morin, Tarkka Homes’ president and owner, has a deep commitment to local service organizations as she believes community is only as strong as those willing to give of themselves for the benefit of all. She belongs to the Hopkinton Rotary, a local subsidiary of Rotary International whose motto is “service above self”. This aligns with the Tarkka Homes philosophy seamlessly. She also serves as a five-year, NH governor-appointed Board Member on the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority and chairs the Hopkinton, New Hampshire Housing Committee. Even when she’s volunteering, it’s obvious that housing is one of Tricia’s genuine passions. Tricia believes by being involved in our community, it strengthens our relationship and provides a deep sense of belonging. Home exists outside of our houses; it’s our communities where we work, play, go to school, dine, shop, and meet others. 

As a Custom home builder Concord NH, Tarkka Homes is known not only for our quality and craftsmanship, but our integrity, honesty, and client relationships. Our clients experience a full-service, dedicated team of experts whose only goal is to build the very best home for them through a stream-lined design process. While Tricia oversees the operations, budgets, and contracts, Matt Heald is the Site Supervisor who leads the field team. He’s in charge of scheduling and coordinating the suppliers and subcontractors while also overseeing quality control. Matt is a stickler for perfection, which is exactly what our clients expect – and deserve. He’s been with Tarkka Homes since 1995 having joined our team shortly after graduating with honors from the Manchester School of Technology’s Construction Services Program. There aren’t many companies that can claim a 30-year commitment from an employee unless there’s a very special relationship that exists. Matt excels at his role and professionally delivers our projects with precision and a keen eye for excellence. 

Our team has worked continuously for over 35 years to build and maintain our reputation as ethical and moral individuals committed to our clients’ best interests at all times. We believe that strong communication is vital when building a custom home, but understanding the emotional investment is also extremely important. It’s not enough to “build a house”. We start from day one building the relationships and trust that is vital to a healthy partnership. We begin with planning conversations where we learn who our clients are, what they enjoy, and why they want to build a custom home. It’s with thoughtful guidance, the ability to listen and actually hear what’s being said, and following a time-proven process that we can begin to form these partnerships. We form friendships through our journey building our clients’ homes and foster those relationships long after move-in day.

Tarkka Homes is New Hampshire’s premiere building of single family homes, but did you know that we are also the expert Custom home builder Concord NH of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)? ADUs have historically been referred to as in-law apartments or granny flats. We were asked by an existing client to build an ADU over their brand new garage which had been designed in advance for this use as a “phase two” of their new home project. When the municipality declined the request of the homeowner to be able to have a safe, affordable place in which to have a family member live, Paul and Tricia Morin decided it was time to change the status quo. Working with the NH Home Builders Association, the NH Municipal Association, and NH Housing, they drafted language, got bipartisan sponsorship from within NH’s Senate members and submitted legislation to address the situation. It passed both the House and Senate and was signed by the Governor who stated it was one of the most important pieces of housing legislation to be enacted into NH State law. Fast forward to 2025 and ADUs are now allowed by right in every NH community. Working on behalf of our clients means that we sometimes have to put ourselves out there and change the laws when it makes sense and benefits the community as a whole. So when we say “we wrote the law on ADUs in NH”, we really did!
