<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hey guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What's the consensus on the best practice for
flashing roof penetrations on existing (not new) comp shingle roofs?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial>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>
