Realistically, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Pico Rivera roofs, since the sheathing more often than not fails before the shingle does. Realistically, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Pico Rivera shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Realistically, a Pico Rivera roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath.
