Re: Need carpentery/wood help please

I've been a carpenter for 34 years. In my opinion, you need to tear off that roof completely. Build it up with more pitch and add a ridge beam down the center with all the proper support framing to support the beam. Get a price together for stick framing the roof with rafters and one for pre-engineered trusses and see whats cheaper for you.
