Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Sun Valley shingle roof, and it shows up years in advance of a ceiling stain does. As a rule, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Sun Valley job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. That is as true in Sun Valley as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
