Looking for a structural engineer or someone with a lot of framing experience

We are looking to cathedral a portion of our island home and would like an opinion on what needs to be done. One opinion was extra collar ties and a few beams to tie the walls together, the other contractor on the job leans towards overkill and wants a structural ridge put in which I don't feel is necessary.

Its a 30 x 40' single level ranch. Someone with a lot of framing experience would be fine with me, but an engineer wouldn't hurt.
