<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">We've used TTi, EcoFasten, and Quick Mount. I like Quick Mount the best but they are a bit pricy so we've been using Eco Fasten for the majority of our work over the last year. If anything, I've found that TTi requires more labor and is more likely to require shingle cutting plus I'm gun-shy about their material quality. That said, the majority of our standard comp shingle mounts require no shingle cutting (although you might have to remove a nail or two) with Quick Mount or Eco Fasten. You just slide them up under the shingles as pictured in this video:</span></p>

If you're really worried about it you can always take a sample out and see if you can slide it under the shingles without any cutting. It just might work.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.</span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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. </span></p>
