[RE-wrenches] L feet no flashing in shingle roof

[Glenn Burt]

We have used a variety of sealants over the years, and determined simple
Henry roofing cement is the best product for use on comp roofing.

 

We also used to bend our own L-foot flashing, which we cut from standard Al
coil stock (before all the manufactured options were available). This might
be a good option for you in this case.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] L feet no flashing in shingle roof

 

I'm quoting a job that has an existing array with L feet bolted down to a
shingle roof with no flashings.  I want to match the height of the existing
array.  Also some modules are being worked in around skylights where it is
unlikely that room would be available for flashings to center over rafters.

I've always used flashings.  Would it be completely crazy to follow suit of
the existing array and bolt L feet straight to the shingle roof with good
roof sealant?  If so, how would you seal it?

Thanks,

Drake
