When to Ask for an ITEL Report—And Why It Matters

How ITEL Testing Helps Prove Roof and Siding Damage

Insurance companies often require proof before approving full replacement. That’s where an ITEL report comes in—a lab test that compares your shingles or siding to current products.

✅ What an ITEL Report Does

• Confirms whether your materials are discontinued

• Proves whether repairs will match existing colors and textures

• Supports your claim for full replacement instead of patchwork repairs

✅ Why It’s Important

If materials can’t be matched, insurance carriers may be required to approve full replacement under policy terms or state matching laws.

✅ When to Request It

• When shingles or siding are older or unique

• When repairs would affect curb appeal or uniform appearance

• When the adjuster is uncertain about available products

Final Thoughts

An ITEL report is a powerful tool for homeowners seeking a fair settlement. Don’t be afraid to ask for one during your claim.
