Project Profile: Metal Roof Upgrade Helps Clubhouse Stand Up to the Mountain
One of Georgia’s hidden gems is the Big Canoe Community, located 60 miles north of Atlanta in the Appalachian foothills. Set in picturesque lakeside, mountain scenery, this premiere 6,000-person community is host to 27-hole championship golf tournaments, weddings, writers’ retreats, trivia nights and other events.
In the center of it all, the Clubhouse at Lake Sconti, which serves as Big Canoe’s central activity hub and meeting place. It boasts stunning views of Lake Sconti and a combined 35,000 square feet of meeting rooms, dinning space, and golf cart storage. The original, 1970s-era clubhouse burned to the ground 14 years ago after suffering a lightning strike. Despite rebuilding the clubhouse in 2006 with a classic cedar shake roof, severe wind and hail damage from recent North Georgia storms left the roof so badly damaged that it needed a full replacement.
