A roof mount assembly mounts a structure to a roof having a rafter and a substrate supported by the rafter. The roof mount assembly includes a piece of flashing positioned on the substrate. The flashing includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending through the flashing. A fastener extends through the flashing aperture. A bracket is connected to the flashing via the fastener, and the bracket is sized to support at least one roof-mounted structure on the roof. A seal is positioned between the flashing aperture and the fastener. The seal is sized to form a water-tight seal with the aperture to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture. The seal includes a first portion and a second portion, in which the first portion is positioned to abut the flashing first surface and the second portion is positioned to extend through the aperture.

1. A roof mount assembly for mounting a structure to a roof, the roof comprising at least one rafter and a substrate at least partially covering the at least one rafter, the roof mount assembly comprising: a flashing positionable on the substrate, the flashing defining a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending therethrough;a fastener extending through the aperture; anda seal including a first portion positionable adjacent the first surface of the flashing and a second portion positionable to extend through the aperture and between the flashing and the fastener, the seal forming a water-tight seal to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture,wherein the flashing includes a protrusion substantially surrounding the aperture, andwherein the seal and the protrusion have complementary shapes. 2. The roof mount assembly of claim 1, further comprising a bracket coupled to the flashing by the fastener, the bracket defining a recess configured to receive at least a portion of the protrusion of the flashing. 3. The roof mount assembly of claim 1, wherein the seal includes a first seal member, and wherein the roof mount assembly further comprises a second seal member, the first seal member and the second seal member mating to form the water-tight seal. 4. The roof mount assembly of claim 3, wherein at least a portion of the first seal member is positioned to abut the first surface of the flashing and at least a portion of the second seal member is positioned to abut the second surface of the flashing. 5. The roof mount assembly of claim 3, wherein the first seal member has a substantially T-shaped cross-section with the first portion extending across the aperture and the second portion extending at least partially into the aperture. 6. The roof mount assembly of claim 3, wherein the second seal member is shaped to engage the second surface of the protrusion. 7. The roof mount assembly of claim 6, wherein the second seal member has an inner surface abutting the first seal member and an outer surface abutting the protrusion. 8. The roof mount assembly of claim 3, wherein the first seal member includes one of a protrusion and a recess and the second seal member includes a mating one of a protrusion and a recess, the protrusion and recess cooperating to retain the second seal member in engagement with the first seal member. 9. The roof mount assembly of claim 1, wherein the seal has a substantially T-shaped cross-section and extends across the aperture and at least partially into the aperture. 10. The roof mount assembly of claim 1, wherein the seal is pressed against the protrusion to form a water-tight seal. 11. The roof mount assembly of claim 10, wherein a first seal member is substantially ring-shaped and a second seal member includes a wide portion sized to abut the flashing adjacent the aperture and a narrow portion sized to extend through the aperture. 12. The roof mount assembly of claim 11, wherein the first seal member includes one of a protrusion and a recess and the second seal member includes a mating one of a protrusion and a recess, the mating protrusion and recess cooperating to retain the second seal member in engagement with the first seal member. 13. A method of mounting a roof mount assembly to a roof, the roof including at least one rafter and a substrate at least partially covering the at least one rafter, the method comprising: inserting a seal into an aperture defined in flashing; positioning the flashing and the seal on the roof;extending a fastener through the flashing and the seal and into the at least one rafter;retaining the flashing and the seal on the roof with the fastener;inhibiting fluid flow through the aperture with the seal; andcompressing a surface of the seal against a surface of the flashing with the fastener to form a seal around the aperture, wherein the surface of the seal and the surface of the flashing have complementary shapes. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising inserting a second seal member into a protrusion defined by the flashing adjacent the aperture. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising engaging a first seal member and the second seal member. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising retaining the second seal member in the protrusion through an engagement between the first seal member and the second seal member. 17. The method of claim 13, wherein compressing the seal includes compressing a first seal member and a second seal member against the flashing. 18. The method of claim 13, further comprising positioning a bracket on the flashing. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising inserting a protrusion defined by the flashing into a mating recess defined by the bracket. 20. The method of claim 18, further comprising connecting a second bracket to the bracket at a location offset from the rafter.
