Attention: Michael Tuck
Regarding: Boger Residence
Saratoga Springs, NY
Dear Mike:
This letter serves to follow up on our earlier conversation regarding the existing slate roof at the Boger
Residence in Saratoga Springs, NY. Currently, the existing roof which supports the slate is framed with 2x6
rafters spaced at 20-inches on center. This rafter size and spacing would be considered undersized based
on current design practices. Furthermore, the addition of insulation within the home (required to meet the
urrent ene 0 - ead to an increased snow load on the existing roof and increase the stress on the
existing rafters.
Because of this, it may be advantageous to the project to consider removing the existing slate roofing and
replacing this material with a lighter weight roofing, such as asphalt shingles.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or require anything further regarding this.
Sincerely, 0 NEwY
