We use the Green Flashing system by Eco Fasten. Works well. You do have to trim the flashing or remove roof nails occasionally.

Hey guys, What's the consensus on the best practice for flashing roof penetrations on existing (not new) comp shingle roofs? 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. 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. William, what are you using these days?
