On most jobs, we photograph every elevation on a Garden Grove project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. A Garden Grove roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Garden Grove shingle roof, and it shows up seasons in advance of a ceiling stain does.
