Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Valley Center shingle roof, and it shows up years ahead of a ceiling stain does. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Valley Center tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Valley Center job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. San Diego County is no different.
Two visits a year keeps a Valley Center roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the earliest heavy storm. Clearing the Valley Center gutters in late autumn prevents the majority of of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. We see it on Valley Center roofs every week. Moss on a shaded Valley Center slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
