How does Allstate homeowners insurance work?

Allstate homeowners insurance covers your home from certain perils in exchange for a premium. In the event of damage from a covered peril, you’ll file a claim, pay a deductible and Allstate pays the rest. Additional insurance coverage is available for events not covered in the traditional homeowners insurance package.

Purchase Allstate homeowners insurance directly from Allstate or through independent agents. Allstate also has a mobile app to get a quote, assess what type and amount of insurance you need and update personal information. Allstate writes policies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

Allstate home insurance cost

In general, Allstate homeowners insurance costs are higher than those of other insurance companies. Expect a policy to cost anywhere from $1,250 to $1,650 a year, but important factors like location, size of home and coverage type determine your exact premium. You can request a quote online from Allstate.

What does Allstate home insurance cover?

Allstate’s coverage varies depending on where you live, but expect a homeowners insurance policy with Allstate to cover damage due to:

  • Windstorm or hail
  • Fire and smoke
  • Theft
  • Falling objects
  • Frozen plumbing
  • Water damage from appliances, heating and cooling systems, water heaters and plumbing

A traditional homeowners insurance plan won’t offer coverage for certain perils. However, you can purchase additional coverage from Allstate, such as:

  • Flood insurance: Typical Allstate coverage takes care of water damage from an appliance or burst pipe, but not from flooding. If you’re concerned about damage from flooding, consider purchasing flood insurance. In some locations, this type of insurance is required.
  • Earthquake insurance: This insurance covers your home structure and belongings from earthquake damage.
  • Personal umbrella policy: Add this type of policy to cover legal fees and lost wages due to lawsuits from visitors who get injured on your property.

Allstate home insurance discounts

Allstate offers a wide variety of discounts that can substantially lower the price for home insurance premiums.

  • Easy Pay Plan: Save 5% by setting up automatic payments.

    I hate Wintrust bank. Do not get a mortgage loan with them. Same for Allstate insurance. Two big name companies that won't take responsibility for their error. We moved into our new house last year. A few months ago. I inquired about a loan modification only to find out that my payments would be going up due to a negative balance in escrow. It took multiple phone calls to figure out why. Come to find out, Wintrust paid the PREVIOUS OWNER's insurance policy out of my escrow in addition to mine. We so happen to both have Allstate for insurance, ironically. Wintrust is refusing to take the hit for it and Allstate is refusing to refund it. To make matters worse, Allstate sent a refund to the previous owner stating there was an overpayment. I contacted the previous owner to find out that they already cashed and spent the money.

    These big name idiots can't fork up the almost $4,000 they owe me. They want me to pay for their mistakes. They keep giving me the run around and blaming each other instead of taking responsibility. Every time I call someone has to to research and call me back. Every time, they escalate it with no real results. I don't know or care whose fault it is at this point. It's NOT MINE. I didn't pay the wrong policy. I didn't send the bill. I didn't fail to verify the correct information on the account before paying it.

    Allstate and Wintrust need to figure it out between themselves and leave me out of it. I shouldn't be paying the price for their mistakes. I've been trying to get this resolved since March. It's June and they are still bouncing me all over the place and saying what they won't do. 1,000% do not recommend. Do not get your mortgage loans through Wintrust. Do not get insurance with Allstate. Check your policies and loans. They cannot be trusted.

    Horrible, horrible, horrible, Allstate is the worst company, I’ve been with them for over 22 years and from all the rain and storms we had in Michigan made my roof leaking and made water damage to my ceiling, my closet and laundry room and they told me I’ll get 143$ to fix it because I have 2,500 deductible..

      I have Allstate, and a tree fell on my house like 3 years ago. Now keep in mind if you drive around in my neighborhood, out of 100% of the area 90% of the roofs have been replaced about 8% are still good and 2% of them need the roof replaced. I am one of the ones who needs their roof replaced, bad. So back to the beginning, the tree fell during a big storm. Allstate sent someone to inspect the roof. Now, while on top of the roof the rep for Allstate told me, you’re not in good hands with Allstate, and they will not replace this roof, even though you need one and need one bad. I then got a call saying we will only patch the spots that we see.

      Now present time. I now have a hole in the roof of my house that is leaking and the water damage is now spreading to the window in the attic, ceiling, flooring, and Allstate won’t fix it. I don't get it. I pay insurance for things to be fixed not for expenses to come out of pocket. And it’s like this isn't covered & that isn't covered, so what is covered, what is the purpose of having insurance? Allstate you shouldn't be an insurance company anymore because at this point, you’re playing with people’s livelihood. I have mildew and mold in a home where 3 people suffer from asthma, two small children and myself.. I have mildew and mold in the attic, the roof, and the floors.

      It’s not fair to the people that have you as an insurance company and then you false advertise, because WE ARE NOT IN GOOD HANDS with the company and you DON’T care about the people and our safety. And it is sad that people must sue the company just so they can fix a problem that could have been avoided. SO, if you are reading this review, PLEASE don't get Allstate. BECAUSE you are NOT in good hands with them.

      This review is for David **'s Office in West Chester, PA. As a former 30-year customer, my advice is simple: run—don’t walk—away from Allstate. Over three decades, I filed only a handful of minor claims. Two were handled appropriately, but one was an absolute mess. The adjuster was consistently unprepared, late, unresponsive, and unable to answer basic questions. At one point, I was quoted hundreds of dollars for a repair I knew cost less than $20 at a hardware store, justified only by “that’s what the system, Xactimate, says.” That experience alone raised serious concerns about how a major claim would be handled. Unfortunately, I eventually found out.

      After a winter storm, I noticed a small water stain on my ceiling. Upon inspection, it was clear there was a significant moisture issue in the attic—every sheet of roof plywood was wet. Despite this, Allstate determined it was not a “new issue” and denied coverage, leaving me responsible for a full roof replacement costing over $16,000. For context: I’ve lived in this home for 20 years, the roof was only 13 years old, and there had never been a prior issue.

      To make matters worse, after replacing a vehicle with a comparable one (same class, improved safety features, no accidents, enrolled in safe driving), my premium increased by over $700 every six months. When I asked why, the only explanation given was—again—“that’s what the system says.” After 30 years of loyalty, I was treated like a liability instead of a customer. If you’re comfortable paying high premiums and potentially fighting for coverage when you need it most, this may be the company for you. If you expect your insurer to stand behind their policies, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Since leaving, I’m saving over $2,500 per year—and I have far more confidence in my coverage. Good riddance.

      I would not recommend this company to anyone. My condo was flooded, the water leak under the slab was repaired, but my condo is unlivable until the repairs are complete. No bathroom, no kitchen. My insurance adjuster said that I could be put up in a hotel. Days go by and I can't reach anybody, my adjuster out of the office for a few days. I call claims department and they say they will put me in contact with another adjuster. They transferred my call to another adjuster and he said he would call me back within 24 hours - nobody called. I call again to try to speak with a supervisor - I can leave a message and he will try to get back with me within 24 hours. I got no place to go, no place to use the bathroom, no cooking, all while I am fighting cancer - this is the worst treatment I have ever received from any company.

      After a severe wind storm earlier this year some of my vinyl siding was torn off. The siding was older and was very brittle. I received 2 estimates and submitted them to Allstate. Allstate declined to cover the work necessary to fix the damage properly. Instead, Allstate wanted to piece in just the broken pieces and would not cover a job to complete it right. In fact, they never sent out an adjuster. I have been with Allstate for many years and never filed a claim. $2000 per year of premiums, and the job to be done right was $5000. So you can do the math. I was never in good hands, but had a lazy claims adjuster Kyle **.

      Horrible Company, they are trying yo completely deny a claim from a New home only insured by Allstate. Trying tricks like previous damage and improper installation. We will have to go to litigation for a needed roof replacement. Even the local insurance reps really don't care because they said they make there money off new clients not holding on to them. The way they are paid. Our opinion Avoid Allstate at all cost. Not worth saving a buck. On monthly fees.

I paid out of pocket to replace the roof- over 9K. After that, I decided to cancel my policy before the policy ended June 2025. I called at least 5 times and emailed them as well. They refused to cancel. The agent said he couldn't cancel it and I needed to call back because he couldn't do it and he was going to be out of town. My mortgage company sent them the payment (in full) for 2026 and they only refunded me a 3rd of it because they counted the days that they still "provided coverage"- What a rip-off. Now my mortgage payment is going up because basically, I paid my home insurance twice!!

      Allstate will not stop harassing me. For some reason they are trying to get in contact with a person that is not me. I assume it is because they were given the wrong number. The amount of calls I've gotten over the last few months has been insane. The amount of times I've had to unsubscribe from their incessant texts I cannot even count. After being called by 6 different people from Allstate back to back in a 10 minute span I am finally writing this complaint. This is insane.

      My husband and I have been working with Alycia ** at the Darren Davis Office since we purchased our first home, and we truly could not have asked for a better agent. From the very beginning, Alycia walked us step by step through the process of securing homeowners' insurance and bundling it with our auto insurance, making everything feel simple and stress-free. She is extremely attentive and always looks for ways to meet your specific needs. On one occasion, when I was having difficulty paying my bill by the required due date, Alycia took the time to help me explore my options and find a solution. That level of care and support meant so much to us. Alycia is professional, understanding, and genuinely caring toward her clients. It gives me peace of mind knowing she is our agent. I am truly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an insurance agent who truly cares.

I have been calling for a refund for about five months, but they keep telling me that they mailed the check. As of December, I still have not received it.

      Had to submit my first claim ever due to storm damage to my roof, leak in multiple areas on a middle aged roof after one storm. 6+ years loyal customer with no prior claims over 2 homes and bundled with auto. Adjuster was sent out to inspect, found the damage locations, photographed extensively and was still denied after being dragged out for more than 2 months so that I would continue paying my premium. Oh, and there's an early termination clause in place on specific insurance policies. Really felt like a scam at the end. Cancelled immediately, would not recommend to anyone.

      Helene storm damage claims handling and payout. Has been traumatic and an awful experience. ALLSTATE punishes home policy owners by using the deny and delay tactic. They make you deal with a different person almost from one phone call to the next, it seems. They do not care that your contractor and you, as the owner, took care of many things that saved Allstate money. They are hell bent on fighting every detail that is over their very minimal offered payout. We stayed in a half-useable house for almost a year, saving them thousands in temporary rental money and temporary motel money. We could have refused to stay in the half-useable house that we work out of due to the unsafe conditions, and contractor work generated noise and dust. They are definitely not "The Good Hands People".

      I believed in Allstate’s slogan — “You’re in good hands.” But unfortunately, my experience has been far from that. My claim was originally withdrawn because of the reasoning provided by the adjuster, but I decided to reopen it after realizing that his assessment was incomplete and inaccurate. The adjuster did not fully inspect the damaged areas of my home, and I strongly disagreed with his findings. When I reopened my claim, I expected a fair review. Instead, Allstate denied it again — this time with a completely different reason that is not true and does not reflect the actual condition of my property. It’s very frustrating as a customer to see that their decision did not take into account the detailed assessment and report provided by the licensed roofer who inspected my home.

      I’ve requested a different adjuster multiple times so that my case can be evaluated fairly, yet that request continues to be ignored. No one ever wants unexpected damage to happen to their home. That’s why we have insurance — for peace of mind and protection. But in my case, instead of feeling “in good hands,” I feel dismissed and unsupported. I truly hope Allstate lives up to their promise and takes the time to review my case properly and fairly.
