- Building: Small commercial
- Scope: Mansard roof replacement
- Removed: Aging Concrete Tile roofing (from the mansard roofs)

- Specs: 12-inch width, 26-gauge, Cascade Gray
- Result: Clean contemporary look; defined vertical lines highlight the mansard profile
For commercial property owners in Lake Forest Park and the surrounding SR-522 corridor, a mansard roof is more than a design feature — it is a highly visible surface that shapes first impressions. By replacing the aging Concrete Tile with a standing seam metal system, this project restores both weather protection and curb appeal with a low-maintenance, long-life material built for the Pacific Northwest.
The Challenge: Aging Concrete Tile on a Commercial Mansard Roof

The steep faces of a mansard roof take the brunt of Pacific Northwest weather. On this small commercial building in Lake Forest Park, the aging Concrete Tile roofing had reached the end of its reliable service life. Tile roofs can develop cracked or slipped tiles over time, and the steep geometry of a mansard profile makes every missing or damaged tile highly visible — and highly vulnerable to wind-driven rain. Concrete tile is also one of the heaviest roofing materials available — the mansard replacement removed thousands of pounds of tile from the building’s steep faces, and the lightweight Nu-Ray standing seam system significantly reduced the long-term structural load.
For the property owner, the priorities were clear:
- Replace the failing Concrete Tile before leaks caused interior or structural damage.
- Preserve the architectural character of the mansard profile.
- Select a roofing material that would perform for decades with minimal maintenance.
- Minimize disruption to the business operating below.
The Solution: Nu-Ray Series 2000 Standing Seam Metal Panels
Pinnacle Roofing Professionals specified Nu-Ray Series 2000 standing seam metal panels for the mansard roof replacement. The panels were installed in a 12-inch width, 26-gauge steel, finished in Cascade Gray — a neutral, contemporary tone that complements the building and surrounding Lake Forest Park corridor.
Nu-Ray Series 2000 panels are a mechanically seamed standing seam system engineered for both architectural appeal and weathertight performance. The raised seams interlock to create a continuous, penetration-resistant surface, while the concealed fastener system allows the panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without compromising the seal. For a steep mansard application, the vertical lines of the standing seams naturally emphasize the roof’s angles, turning the mansard profile into a defining visual feature of the building.
Results
The completed mansard roof replacement delivers a clean contemporary look for the small commercial building. The defined vertical lines of the Nu-Ray Series 2000 standing seam panels draw the eye upward and accentuate the mansard profile, giving the property a crisp, modern appearance along the busy Bothell Way / Lake City Way corridor.
Beyond aesthetics, the new metal roof provides:
- Long-term durability — 26-gauge steel standing seam panels resist impact, cracking, and rot far better than aging tile.
- Low maintenance — No individual tiles to slip, crack, or replace; the continuous panel design sheds debris and water efficiently.
- PNW weather protection — Standing seam systems are designed to handle heavy rain, wind, and temperature swings common to Lake Forest Park and the greater Seattle area.
- Contemporary curb appeal — Cascade Gray finish and clean seam lines give the commercial property a refreshed, professional appearance.
Why Standing Seam Metal Makes Sense for Commercial Properties in Lake Forest Park
Commercial buildings along SR-522 and throughout Lake Forest Park need roofing systems that protect the business inside and project professionalism to customers outside. Standing seam metal roofing meets both requirements.
Key benefits for commercial owners in this market:
- Design flexibility — Standing seam panels work on steep architectural profiles like mansard roofs as well as low-slope commercial sections.
- Energy-conscious finishes — Reflective metal coatings can help reduce heat absorption during summer months.
- Fire and wind resistance — Metal roofing carries strong ratings for fire and wind, an advantage for commercial insurance and long-term asset protection.
