damaged ridge board
by jmbonar on Wed Oct 20, 2010 1:52 pm
I own a home that was built in 1924. The roof was framed with 2x4 rafters and a 1x6 ridge board. The rafters were face nailed into the ridge board 24in on center alternating on either side of the ridge not opposing each other. I recently had a new roof installed and in the process the ridge board was over stressed and cracked in three areas with some significant deflection in the ridge board. Any ideas on how a repair could be made. The damaged area is about 6ft. long. Thanks for any help,
