[RE-wrenches] Best practices for comp shingle flashing?

[Will White]

We use the EcoFasten Green Flashing with the standard Unirac L foot that has the oval hole so you get some rail adjustment.  You have to be sure to use the Green Flashing compression plate between the flashing and the L foot.

>From what I've experienced with flashing you're going to have to cut the flashing or remove shingle nails no matter what you do or which brand you use.

Thanks,
Will

Thanks guys. Talked with TTi and mentioned Mr. Miller's experience with rust. They said they got a lot of feedback about this problem on their 1st generation line and have since corrected the issue. I'll remain cautious...thanks Willy.

TTi, DPW, EcoFasten, and Quick-mount all seem to have the same issue of lacking versatility in height adjustment. Anyway, going to check out a sample from TTi. DPW and EcoFasten look like they still require cutting of both flash base and comp courses. I'm trying to avoid cutting anything as I want to avoid disturbing original flashing and original roofing material.

Thanks for all your input!!
