A Los Alamitos roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. We see it on Los Alamitos roofs every week. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Los Alamitos shingle roof covering, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does. We photograph every elevation on a Los Alamitos job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
