In practice, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Bell Gardens shingle roof covering, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. This holds across Los Angeles County. A Bell Gardens roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.
