So, do I wait patiently or proactively contact OC or a local roofer to take a look. To date, no noticeable symptoms. For those of you who have had recent action, did OC contact you first?
I've got the OakRidge shingles and have granules coming off. During one of the recent storms I noticed water spilling over the edge of the gutter. When I inspected it after the rain stopped, it had a half inch of granules over its entire length. There are granules accumulating at the end of the downspouts.

I called warranty and they gave me the name of the roofer. I'm waiting for a call back. I'll post the result.
