<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Hey guys,</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">What's the consensus on the best practice for
flashing roof penetrations on existing (not new) comp shingle roofs?
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I don't like Oatey because the boot degrades
quickly and even shaded under the modules I don't like the idea of using an
inferior product. The flashing on Master flash is quite extensive; I don't like
disturbing the established roofing material as much as is required with Master
Flash...nor do I like the idea of having to trim so much of the flashing.
Quick-mount is easy but I really don't like the lack in height versatility plus
the fact that there is no decent way of retracting the lag bolt. I know
there must be a better way.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I recall in the old days (old for me anyway) we
used to just mount L-feet to the shingles and on my own house I mounted
stand-offs directly to the shingles because I'm confident in that method. But, I
need something with more insurance when working on other people's
homes.</font></div>

days?</font></div>
