We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every San Fernando work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. It is the same story on most San Fernando streets. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a San Fernando shingle roof, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does.
