Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Pacoima shingle roof covering, and it shows up years ahead of a ceiling stain does. Worth knowing before you sign anything. We look over ventilation on every Pacoima project, since a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated service life. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Pacoima inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate.
