Title: Avoid State Farm – Terrible Service and Risk of Being Defrauded
My experience with State Farm has been nothing short of a nightmare. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, I strongly recommend avoiding this company. Here’s why:
Unacceptable Delays: It took over two months for an adjuster to even come out after I reported a theft. This kind of delay shows a total lack of urgency.
Misinterpretation of Policy and False Claims: State Farm consistently misinterpreted my policy terms and falsely claimed that my representative couldn’t discuss my claim. They even accused me of refusing communication, which was completely false.
Unsubstantiated Investigations: Despite this being a no-fault claim with video footage, State Farm claimed everything was questionable, including the footage itself. This tactic made it clear they were trying to dismiss my claim without properly reviewing the facts.
Poor Communication & Blocking Access: I was transferred between agents repeatedly, and my access to the claims portal was blocked. This made it impossible to provide needed documentation and slowed the process even further.
Unjust Cancellation of Payments: State Farm issued a check for my damages, only to cancel it the next day under false pretenses.
If you still choose to stay with State Farm, I urge you to hire legal help from the very start. Without it, you’ll likely be defrauded and left in the dark, as I was. After this experience, I’ve withdrawn my claim, filed a complaint with the California Insurance Commissioner, and will never trust them again.

I am currently having difficulty obtaining any information or updates from State Farm regarding my claim (State Farm Claim No: **). On 08/27/2024 lightning struck my home and damaged my roof, alarm system, sauna, and several appliances and devices. The same day, I made an insurance claim and received my claim number from State Farm. The claim has been transferred through 6 or 7 Adjusters and I'm not sure who the current Adjuster is.
I put together a spreadsheet including the damaged item, model numbers and etc., and sent the list to the email address State Farm Provided. My current damage estimate is over $25,000. I have spent thousands of dollars (out of my pocket) on repairs and replacements of some of the damaged items. However, it's been several weeks, and I have not been able to get any response what-so-ever (reimbursement, information or updates) from State Farm...Even though one of the State Farm Adjusters verbally told me to go ahead and repair and replace those items. State Farm has very poor Claims Adjusters and practices. I highly recommend not depending on State Farm for your insurance needs.

I've had State Farm for auto for more than 40 years and home owners for more than 30. Several years ago we had hail damage...holes in our siding, all the screens torn, dents in our gutter helmets. State Farm said the roof was fine. Fast forward, shingles are blowing off during every strong wind. All roofing companies immediately "frowned" when I told them we had State Farm. We filed a claim. State Farm said the missing shingles could be replaced and there was no hail damage, recent or otherwise. The estimate was well below our deductible. We had to replace the roof completely at our own expense. The adjuster told us State Farm would no longer be in the business of replacing roofs and we should just plan for the expense in the future. By the way, even if State Farm doesn't pay out a time, it is still recorded as a claim.

I’ve had State Farm about 10 years now for home/auto insurance. There was a tornado that hit in July and it ripped parts of the roof, siding and there’s extensive water damage in the second floor of the house where water came pouring in. Every room has ceiling and wall damage as well as hallway in which the ceiling collapsed. There is insulation in the ceiling and it soaked up the leaking water and got so heavy the ceiling’s starting coming down. I have a $2500 deductible and all they want to do is patch it but both sides are damaged. They basically want to put a bandaid on it by replacing a few shingles. The roof is only 14 years old and isn’t even halfway at its life expectancy plus they no longer make those shingles. They missed half of the damage and all they’re giving me is $5400 which will probably pay for about half of the damage to the second floor.
I’ve had to get an independent adjuster and am hoping for the best. They sure know how to take your premium monthly and can afford to pay a slew of professional athletes for their commercials but they don’t want to pay out for a claim. I’ve never had such a difficult time with insurance. The damage occurred on 7/15 and I specifically told them when I called on the claim. When I looked at the estimate they conveniently put down 7/13 instead and that was prior to the damage date. After everything is finished I’m looking for a new company.

State Farm auto and home insurance: Auto insurance since 1992; current cost=790/yr, Condo insurance since 2015; current cost= 546/yr, Apartment insurance for years prior to buying the condo. A lawyer told me State Farm is now one of the worst insurance companies. They have appeared in many news stories for dropping homeowner insurance policies using drones and absurd excuses. This makes me think my experience isn't uniquely bad.
I tried to make a claim because another owner beneath had water damage. I was on hold for 45 minutes and made the claim online while waiting. I waited for days for a call from a person whose job is to lie and generalize to convince me to withdraw my claim. I am dealing with a company who has lied to me constantly, but they said State Farm lied to them. Since they both seem to have a tenuous grasp on ethics, I'm not sure who to believe. When I finally talked to an agent who told me how to claim a reimbursement, I thought I had to process. I submitted via email, on their website, and by mail. I rarely received any response. When I was forced to repeat this lady seemed annoyed. (Lady annoyed does not begin to describe my mood right now.) They said they work with Servpro, which I thought meant that they were legit, far from it. They are coming after me and keep sending bogus illegal add on bills in fits.
If I ever get out of this financial jail (Servpro has my bank account at negative 30k if I could pay) I will find another insurance company. But once one insurance company screws you nobody else will even sniff your request. OUT OF POCKET AFTER REIMBURSEMENT: $47335.16-$9912.75 (State Farm paid) =$37422.41 (paid over reimbursement). Servpro charges:
8/22: demand letter and packet containing mostly fraudulent charges. $5003.89 (8/22), $1709.97 (8/22) + $13184.81 (8/22) *+ $1749.66 (8/22) to return to check a leak I had to fix before they came out = $42317.46.
**+ $154.35 (8/22) to move 39 flat boxes and ½ bag of grey powder-2 hours, $21802.68 + *10000 (charged afterwards to submit documents to State Farm and the company’s pain and suffering”) + $5000 Paid as deposit (might be included in total?) = $36802.68 (Servpro total after 8/22/2024).
$8558.93 (paid) 2nd contractor to fix everything Servpro did, $1973.55 (paid)- Revised out of pocket: materials, fixtures, replacements = $47335.16 (inc. $445 for electrician to install new donated light and $234.61 not reimbursed hotel bill).
RECEIVED FROM STATEFARM: $8252.21 + $1660.54 = $9912.75.

Was informed by State Farm via US Mail that my policy would not be up for renewal in February 2025 unless I replaced my roof. They say pictures from Google Earth suggest that I am losing gravel on my shingles. This roof was replaced in 2016 and has absolutely no issues. After a wind mitigation report and a report from a licensed roofer (the one that installed the roof in 2016) saying I should have 5 years of life left, they still say replace it or lose coverage. We are leaving State Farm who we have had for home and auto for 30 years with only 1 claim paid during all that time. No one should have to install a new roof every 9 or 10 years to pacify an insurance company.

This should be a negative five-star review. I battled State Farm for two years over a bad hail storm back in 2022. Fifteen houses in my area got new roofs from the same storm, and I was denied for two years. I was told by the State Farm representative that my roof did not sustain any damage, but they would replace ten shingles and it would match fine. Now, I receive disapproving looks from neighbors over the "match" State Farm claimed it would be. I have pictures of the roof to show people that State Farm does not care about their "neighbors" as they claim. I have been with State Farm for years, and for them to treat customers like this is appalling and unacceptable.
I feel finding other insurance may be in my best interest if this is how customers are treated for a claim that is due to mother nature. The color match of the shingles is not even close to being right. I feel like everyone should stay away from State Farm due to the poor work they do, thinking it is okay to mess with the resale value of customers' property. We pay our premiums to have good quality insurance coverage, and this is a testament showing State Farm does not care about quality, resale, or customers. I have more pictures too.

Our home was directly hit by a tornado in February. It is now early July and we still do not have repairs to our home, on our 3rd adjuster (first one I asked to be removed from our claim because she lied two times that we know of), and trying to get ahold of them is impossible and when you do, they do not send the information agreed upon on the call. They have closed our claim after sending a check for less than a thousand dollars for whole home siding replacement saying we should patch it, this goes against Ohio code Rule 3901-1-54(I)(1)(b). The claim is not closed. I’m not even sure what the point of paying your insurance premium is or what’s more unfortunate between getting hit by a tornado or having State Farm as my insurance provider.

I had severe damage to my rental property from a bad storm, there was damage to both bathrooms ceilings, and damage to to my living room ceiling. The State Farm adjuster chose to repair the damage to just one bathroom, he stated he wasn't going to cover my 2nd bathroom because he said it was caused from wear and tear, I sent him numerous pictures showing there was stains from the rain storm but he still chose not to cover the 2nd bathroom. I don't understand how they pick and chose what they want to cover, I probably should have gave just 1 star but they did cover my living room and one of the bathrooms.

Home Insurance provider, State Farm, has unlawfully withheld benefits and coverages owed for a policy maintained since 1996. After catching and calling out the Adjuster for saying I didn’t have coverage when I did, he engaged in an 'investigation' that was completely senseless and what he claimed needed to be determined was wholly impossible. He delayed the Claims processing for months, and in the meantime, since I RECORDED calls where he was making multiple false claims, he issued a letter saying he wouldn’t speak with me on the phone anymore (this is after weeks of him calling daily to harass me).
I continued to request to speak with the Manager and have to this day to ask questions about why my Claim was being handled the way it was, where in the Policy (or Contract) it said they could perform these 'investigations' when it was clear this was a loss covered. Then, once their AFFILIATE was engaged to compile a report for more than what was reported, they agreed it was a covered loss but issued an Estimate for an amount that wouldn't even cover the cost to remove the damages, let alone restore the property! Their estimate was only 34% of what the home was insured for - when over 70% of the home had been affected by the damages sustained!
They issued a payment without my approval (explicitly against the policy terms) - which I have not cashed / accepted. They also said that if I could not complete the work for their estimated amount, or if the work included areas / items they did not include (for which there were many), I would need to obtain approval prior to starting any work. I had a bid submitted to them when the Claim was made; however, they said I needed to obtain another one. I solicited another company which provided them a bid in April and for more than 45 days (against State regulation), they had not responded to that company nor myself.
After I submitted a complaint to the State (and sent them a copy) they responded with a letter ("EDL"), which included where they went back to their AFFILIATE party and had them provide an 'addendum' to their original report which contracted the findings in the original report. This EDL denied coverage for the exterior damages - damages which were not included in the bid submitted for approval. Still unable to reach the adjuster for the Claim, I informed the call center that this was, yet another, completely unreasonable delay tactic.
If the exterior was in question, then would it not have been more prudent to provide approval for the interior of the home because, by doing so, it would have been evident if the exterior damages were as a result of the Covered Loss? And, if it truly was necessary to make a determination on the exterior before sending approval for solely the interior work, why was the Engineer not contacted for over a month after the questions were raised and a bid sent?
No response was given, instead State Farm issued a letter saying they would not cover two rooms of the 9 in the home (including one which was adjacent to where the damages began) because they did not show signs of water damages - when there are literally photos of water dripping from the ceiling. A complaint was filed with the State Insurance Department but according to them, they can rule if State Farm has acted in bad faith, but they cannot actually make them adhere to the terms of the Policy or otherwise act accordingly. So there is no recourse for me to recover for damages owed.

To be honest, the State doesn't even deserve a rating of one. If you are looking for home insurance please stay away. Whenever you have an issue with your home, they try to undervalue or downgrade your problem and probably pay you 20% or consider your damages not bad enough to justify your claim. Their adjusters never answer their phones or return your calls. Please never use them.

Between my wife and I we have been customers of State Farm for over 25 years. Only ever had one minor car claim years ago! Recently, we had our roof inspected as it started to leak and had three contractors Tell me it has hail damage. Their inspector said nothing wrong with the roof. Didn’t even come in and find out where the leaks were. After a month and a half of no communication, no call backs. Never answer the phone…. Roof is still leaking. Over the years we have probably spent on average of $6-7000 a year and the one time we have a need for them! Nothing! Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced!
Over 75% of my neighbors have had their roof replaced. I’m assuming the rest of have State Farm. For all people out there if you have State Farm and assume your roof is insured.

State Farm refuses to honor their roof replacement claims. We had 2 back to back wind storms resulting in damages all over the area. Obviously we experienced damage resulting in shingles being ripped off, along with gutters, and shutters. Their adjuster claimed only 4 shingles were missing and 40 needed replaced. I have no ridge caps left on my house, that wasn't included in their estimate along with piecing together the gutters that were damaged. Obviously the rest of the roof shingles are now weakened and will eventually blow off In the next storm. Very disgusted since I have been a loyal customer for 30 years and never had a home claim before. They also overvalued the house from the appraisement so that my deductible would be higher, which I didn't find out till I put in this claim. I don't have the funds to pay for a new roof or for silly patchwork, but if you're late on a payment they'll drop you in a heartbeat.

After I wasted my time getting him this information, he tells me that their "underwriters" denied my application for home AND vehicle because of the $1,200 claim last year, that was from an act of God.

I had to file a claim with State Farm on my homeowner policy. I honestly feel blessed because State Farm took such excellent care of us at our time of need. Our agent Steve ** and our adjuster Mark ** were honestly concerned about our well being and they made filing a claim so easy. We had a leak in our roof and in the coldest part of winter. When the snow began to melt we developed an ice dam. Water from the melting snow came into our home and caused such a mess and even the sheet rock on the wall of the master bedroom turned to mud!
The floor was soaked and it was not safe for my husband and myself to remain in our home as I have lung cancer and my husband has COPD and we both had suffered a stroke within the last two years. We had never filed a claim before and we had always done our home repairs and upgrades ourselves, as we had both work in home construction for years. Now due to health issues we are no longer able to do these things. I honestly feel blessed by the way State Farm stepped up and took such great care of our family home and my husband and myself! Both Steve ** our agent and Mark ** our adjusters were so kind and caring!
Their response to our claim was immediate and they went above and beyond anything we expected to ensure that we were comfortably housed while repairs were underway and they made sure that all measures were taken to maintain our health needs and kept us safe from the hazards that in play due to the damage at our home. They got the best restoration company to work on our home the same day we filed the claim and they had us moved into a nice hotel suite for the duration of repairs. The provided us with living expenses and so much more. They helped us through everything. I can't begin to thank them enough. I also thank God for State Farm! Our home is only a few days from being completely restored and State Farm covered everything under our homeowners policy. If we could tell everyone in the world, that we believe State Farm is the best insurance to have...we would!

Then they sent a third inspector. I had to pay out-of-pocket to replace my roof at a cost of $19,000 so I canceled my homeowners and all three of my vehicles with them and went to USAA.

I had an initially very positive experience when making a claim for water damage. Representatives were prompt in response, helpful, empathic, and efficient with processing information. After I revisited a related additional cost reimbursement question a few months later for the same claim, I have been consistently ignored, after multiple attempts to get a response. It has been three weeks and counting.
Given the way I have been treated (and we all know insurance is not cheap), I have asked for a manager to call back as this is upsetting as a customer. I still have no answer about my actual inquiry (I imagine because it actually qualifies, but inconveniently so); nor have I heard back from a manager given my experience as a customer. It is already emotionally, mentally, and financially upending to go through home damage. To be blatantly disregarded and have to take time out of my day to repeatedly follow up on a valid question as a consumer is upsetting to another level. Bottom line take away: customers don't matter, money does.

I was so impressed with my State Farm agent who has insured my 2 autos (one an antique vehicle) for at least 20 years, I finally agreed to bundle home/auto and switched my homeowners policy from Country Financial (which kept pressuring me to bring my auto policies to them so they could bundle and offer a discount). What a mistake. Shortly after I made the switch, a hail storm hit my area in Illinois. I reached out to my State Farm agent who told me NOT to work with one of the many companies that were knocking on my door but to reach out to a respected local roofing company to see if there was damage. A local roofing company confirmed there was hail damage so my agent advised me to file a claim.
What a horrible experience. State Farm used an adjuster from out of state (Alabama) who met my roofer on the roof. The adjuster said despite there being some hail damage his determination was gong to be that the damage was due to having an older roof but that I was free to request a reinspection. My roofer said he had met with many a State Farm adjuster and that he would be happy to come back for a reinspection (he also said I had more significant/severe damage than many other roofs insured by State Farm and which were being repaired). My claim was denied, so I requested a reinspection. The roofer sent me photos showing hail damage which I forwarded to State Farm.
A month went by and nothing from State Farm, so I reached out to them. Apparently, the fact that I had also filed a claim with Country for damage to a rental property I owned located 4 blocks away was causing the delay. The claims person said "Management" was questioning why I was submitting a claim to State Farm when I had been paid by Country, so I had to clarify these were 2 separate properties (different addresses, but same billing address). Eventually State Farm called me back and said "management" had declined to do a reinspection. It didn't seem to matter to him that nearly every property on my block had hail damage to their roof, siding, autos, etc. from the April 4, 2023 storm (with most having the roof/siding already finished or shingles in the driveway) or that Country paid without question after an inspection by its adjuster for damage to my rental property a few short blocks away.
When I switched my homeowners for my personal residence from Country to State Farm earlier this year and bundled it with my 2 vehicles, there was some type of inspection and I never heard anything about problems with having an older roof (18 years old with 30-year shingles, with my garage having been done a few years prior to that). In short, had I kept my policy with Country and NOT switched to State Farm I likely be getting a new roof. I really like my State Farm agent but also confess I've never had an auto claim beyond a towing charge during the 20+ years.
In reading local experiences on NextDoor.com, it seems that many of other residents with State Farm are also having issues with denials. I'm very tempted to survey neighbors and their experience with their insurance companies (what insurance company, who paid/who was denied, who used a public adjuster or roofing company that worked directly with the insurance company, age of roof, etc.). And I've also heard that many who filed a claim with State Farm and who were denied are being 'dropped.' I so wish I had not switched insurers.

My homes took a bad hit with winter storms. The back of the house collapsed. State Farm was informed in February, March the adjuster came and informed me an engineer needed to come. July engineer report was done. Engineer found code violations from construction 40 years previous state farm denied the claim yet their underwriter looked at the place before I bought it and found no violations. I had 2 strokes. Put 192,000 for the house. Very poor company. They fired all adjusters in Minnesota. My adjuster told me I was owed for a new roof on the house with the clear ice damage and they didn't pay that either. They paid the engineer nicely though.

I would give a zero, Adjuster Eric ** did a somewhat inspection of my roof on 07/18/23 which I heard him tell my contractor that State Farm is not in favor of its customer when determining results of inspections. After two weeks, they claim a shingle is available to repair my roof when there are more than 15 shingles damaged from hail & roof needs to be replaced. They want to offer about $700 for repair & if not able to repair to send them proof so they can review but I have to pay $1500 deductible, my contractor has proven that roof is not repairable and needs to be replaced. When I asked Mr. ** about damage to my gutters also, he advised I would have to submit yet another claim for that which I would have to pay an additional deductible.
I called to have another inspection done with a different adjuster and was told I need to submit photos for them to review. Wait times on phone are ridiculous (over 40mins), never call back. Also damage to my gutter from adjuster placing ladder on. I have been a loyal customer for over 5+ years. My contractor submitted additional photos/video of more damage & failed repair. Now State Farm is asking for photos that show other damage to my roof, WTH! Like c’mon! How are they working with their customers?! They don’t even bring up me requesting a reinspection with a different adjuster!
Just spoke to adjuster Eric ** about proof sent in by my contractor of repair not possible of my roof. Mr. ** basically told me to go away and there is nothing that State Farm will do, when I asked for his manager's information he advised that he does not have that info and he doesn’t even know his manager's name. I tried calling my agent directly and got the same runaround, was told to basically get another contractor for State Farm to even consider anything else.

My house had a roof damage around 8/16/2023. Part of the ridge cap of roof was dislodged by high wind. A roofer came on 8/17/2023 and put a Tarp to prevent rainwater from entering. I submitted claim to State Farm on 8/17/2023. I then called State Farm on 8/18/2023 to get a schedule for an inspection. Nobody called back. I called again on 8/21/2023. I got hold of the assigned claim associate this time - who gave me an inspection date of 8/29/2023 (1 week later). Then this same associate called me back in a few minutes and said that my claim has been transferred to a second associate because his workload is too high! Then this second associate gave me an inspection date of 09/05/2023 (2 weeks down the line)!!
I have been with STATE FARM home insurance for more than 20 years. I would like to know from the top management why they have so few associates who can inspect a claim of something as serious as roof damage - such that the initial inspection for damage assessment cannot be done within a few days?

I have been a Customer of State Farm over 20 plus years. In all those years when I call my local agent for an issue they tell me whatever it is it isn't covered. I had a tree fall on my house. I needed help getting the tree removed and they told me they wouldn't cover if no obvious damage to the house. Except that the tree fell against my chimney in part and the branches ruined my gutters. I had a water main leak under my slab. They told me it wouldn't be covered as it was a maintenance item even though it was 6 ft below my concrete slab in a room in my home. Now it is covered under a rider for a separate fee.
Two expensive go karts stolen from a trailer on my property. Of course not covered due to the trailer not being covered but, if they were in my garage they would be covered. The latest issue is hail damage and interior damage to a bedroom caused by a water leak from said hail damage. Because I put a sealer to prevent further damage to the interior of my home they claim it isn't covered due to no damage being noticed from hail. Except that all my neighbors' houses roofs were covered from the same storm. I received a letter stating there was no visible damage to my roof due to hail and yet I have pictures of damage and roof vents that look like a moonscape.
Every call to State Farm is an experience in horror. Their adjustor told me that the tree damage should have been covered and the removal of the tree should have been covered. Then again, he told me there was no damage to my roof. He also suggested in his denial that he did not come into the home as I stated no damage occurred within the home and yet I had a public adjuster for myself and they were in my home with him when he inspected and measured the interior of the bedroom and the ceiling with noticeably obvious water damage and electrical damage due to the leak.

I received a call today from a representative in my agent's office inquiring if I received a letter that was sent back in April. I had not received a letter so the agent proceeded to advise that our Homeowners Insurance was not being renewed due to a claim that was filed a month after the policy took effect. This claim was a mysterious disappearance claim on my wedding bands as they had been lost for two weeks and I had looked everywhere. I was under the impression that lost jewelry was covered and due to the sentimental value of these, I submitted a claim after two weeks of the rings being missing. I was called by a claims processor advising me that unless they were stolen and I filed a police report, missing items were not covered. I advised that I was not confident they were stolen and opted to drop the claim.
The agent advised that this would not have any ill effects on my coverage. No money was exchanged and I accepted that my wedding bands were lost forever. I was not advised of the personal property coverage until after I had filed the claim that they were missing, negating the possibility that I would be able to replace them at all. Come to find out, they have chosen not to renew my insurance coverage as the timing was quote "Suspicious." However, no one had advised that our coverage was in jeopardy or that this incident would cause us to lose our insurance. If a tree had fallen on our house a month after the insurance took effect, would we be penalized for that too?
It was the single claim and no claims had been submitted since. I understand choosing to increase our premium, but cancelling is entirely unfair for a single incident that ended with no payments being issued. I received a copy of this letter today, and we have 2 1/2 weeks to find an equal policy to avoid a lapse in coverage. This caused us to lose a bundle discount and is a black mark on our record resulting in increased prices for homeowners insurance.

Upon filing the claim State Farm threw $2K at it (after 2 months of working with them) and said it was "repairable". It's NOT repairable and I was very disappointed with their return. No roofers want to deal with it, because they won't take on the liability to guarantee the roof's integrity... They don't pay their claims.
I was tricked and mislead to believe I had premium policy. The ONLY premium part of the policy was the price that I paid them for YEARS. Save your money...don't engage in what they make you believe is true and honest coverage. I couldn't be more disappointed with the service; not even close to what I expected.

I have been a loyal State Farm customer for more than twenty years with replacement cost insurance on my house. A storm ripped several shingles off multiple slopes of my roof in December. Seven months later, State Farm still has not approved replacing my roof. Customer service started well. State Farm sent a vendor to tarp the roof within a few hours. Two weeks later, a field adjuster assessed the damage and shipped one of my shingles to a lab for analysis. A few days later, I received approval to replace only a fraction of my roof and with a different shingle.
The desk adjuster tried to convince me his shingle was an “exact match.” My roof contractor sent the desk adjuster a side-by-side picture of the original shingle and the one he suggested. The shingles are significantly different. We also provided the adjuster an independent lab result showing the manufacturer discontinued my shingle and there is not a similar shingle available.
A few days later, the desk adjuster changed his story and agreed the shingle had been discontinued. Instead of replacing the full roof in accordance with state laws, he then insisted the shingle he approved for my roof is a “like kind” replacement. He claims he spoke to two different “shingle locator experts.” He also claims the manufacturer said it was not a problem to install the different shingle on my roof if it was on a different slope. This information is the opposite of what the manufacturer told me. I provided the adjuster a letter from the shingle manufacturer saying the original shingle should not be mixed with currently manufactured shingles due to differences in color and granules. The claims department manager sarcastically told me the two different shingles would not “cause a chemical reaction being on the same roof.”
State Farm refuses to provide their lab analysis or documentation for any of the assertions the desk adjuster made regarding communication with his “shingle locator experts” or the manufacturer. My insurance agent was initially helpful. However, Hunter ** abandoned this claim several months ago. After multiple phone calls and emails, this issue remains unresolved.

Tree hit the house on September 1. Finally deposited payment on Christmas Eve. Part of my problem was an inexperienced contractor. State Farm always stuck me in the middle trying to explain what they needed to a contractor that just didn't seem to understand. In my opinion, once I found a contractor, the insurance company should have taken the reins and negotiated with the contractor directly. Clearly that's not how they work. This way of doing business put me in the position of negotiating between the two. What it did was to shift costs to me whenever there was any disagreement.
State Farm also nickel and dimed me on everything. EVERYTHING. Enough that it prompted several excited calls to my agent who tried to smooth things out. State Farm also stuck me in the middle between them and the mortgage company. Apparently the mortgage company has to approve payments but they cannot do this between them. Noooo. State Farm mailed the documents to me and I had to spend $10 postage each time to forward to the mortgage company so they could endorse the check. This took nearly a month each time.
The house has been repaired. I spent way more out of pocket than I expected because some structural irregularities were exposed due to the accident and even though my policy covers bringing the structure up to code, somehow it was not covered. I also floated State Farm a $16,000 loan for several months because the contractor expected to be paid upon completion of the job. Was this a good experience? Absolutely not. I gave State Farm 3 stars rather than a lower rating because I expect that most insurance companies' claims experiences are this disappointing.

Dear State Farm Executive Management,
Untrustworthy….Unfriendly. I am a 30+ year State farm customer with 6 SF policies. I had a claim for my storm damaged roof that officially began about 2 years ago. I have had numerous SF PSP contractors along the way who told me that I should have gotten a roof long ago. All of the neighbors in my cul de sac had insurance replacement roofs over 2 years ago. I eventually came to find out that the SF adjuster was taking pics FROM MY STREET to substantiate their position that my wood shake roof was fine. One of your PSP contractors got up on my roof, and took pictures near and up on the roof. This finally convinced SF to pay my roof claim. SF asked me to get estimates, and I did.
-A comparable roof to what I had was priced at: $52,200-SF agreed to pay: $45,000
-The actual roof I wanted costed approximately: $47,000
-(Due to COVID, it was out of stock indefinitely)
-The only roof that was available (that was cat 4) costed: $29,171
-Leaving a balance that they owed me after deductible of: $14,422
Upon completion of the roof, I was sent a letter by my adjuster stating that I would receive a check for the $14,422 difference (Letter attached). He sent me an email confirming that. The next week, I was told that “MANAGEMENT” decided against paying me the $14,422 balance of my claim....SERIOUSLY? How does that happen? Is this how State Farm treats their customers now? Untrustworthy….Unfriendly.
-Why on earth would I not take advantage of the $45K SF said they would pay?- Had I known SF was not going to pay me the full amount, I would have waited for a more expensive (Comparable to what I have) roof to be available.
-Why would I or anyone for that matter leave $15K on the table?
-A comparable roof was not available (Covid delays) at the time of my installation.
I spoke with your SF area managers regarding my roof claim. They seemed to just read to me out of their policy book, and I am furious with their position. I wish to pursue this further. I hope SF is more concerned with customer service than technicalities. You used to be. After all of these years with SF, I wonder….does SF care about people like me who have been loyal multi decade customers with several policies? It sure doesn’t feel like it with this matter. It was suggested, by one of your people, that I get a lawyer to help me to get a fair shake with SF. I don’t want to have to do that, but I want a more positive resolution to this claim.

And, with my deductible of $1,068, this provides a total of $6,737.17 to replace and repair all of the damages. I received three (3) estimates for the roof and interior in the year 2019. For the roof alone, Bell Roofing was $5,420 and Lowe's was $6,325.43. For the living room and kitchen, the estimate was $2,875. All estimates are attached.

State Farm is such a bad insurance! Once you need to use it, they will settle the claim then cancel your insurance and there is nothing you can do discuss it. We had suitcases stolen full of Christmas gifts and personal clothes, we settled the claim and we received a letter saying that they were canceling our contract. A joke!!!

We have had StateFarm homeowners insurance for our house for the past 11 years! We own our home and thought we were covered in case of a disaster. Well we were wrong! We experienced a water disaster in our kitchen which was happening behind the wall until it came through and we were able to see it. We contacted them immediately to file a claim. They put us in a hotel because we cannot live in the home due to mold exposure and health concerns. We were also kicked out of that same hotel the very next day when they decided that they would not cover our claim because it was a “slow leak”. Does not matter that we had NO idea about it. They denied our claim! Leaving us with several 50+ thousand dollars of repairs for our home and no lodging so we have to live in my car! I am appalled at how they are treating us like dirt!

If I was able to rate State Farm lower than 1, I would. We had both a Homeowner's policy and a Landlord's policy with State Farm for more than 25 years with no claims. Then in February 2018, our pipes froze and burst in our home and for the first time we had to file a claim. We needed to get the damage repaired before we could continue to reside in our home because of the severity and number of breaks. So after notifying the State Farm Claims Department of our loss, we let them know that we needed to utilize the Additional Living Expenses (ALE) part of our policy so we could get temporary lodging. We were told that they would get back to us. And for every day for over a month, we were jerked around about getting money to get temporary housing.
We could not stay in our home and they didn't care. They played games about providing us the benefits of the policy we had paid premiums on faithfully, every month, for over 25 years. Finally, State Farm subcontracted with a hotel for us to stay in. It was very insulting because we were not given any other options. We were treated like irresponsible, untrustworthy, greedy people. Furthermore, we could not get State Farm to send an adjustor to our home to assess the damage; something that had to happen before any repairs could be made. To this day, STATE FARM HAS FAILED TO EVER EVEN ATTEMPT TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. Nor have they paid anything to us to get the damage fixed. We got an attorney and filed suit against Stare Farm for Breach of Contract, Fraud, and Bad Faith Claims Handling Practices.

A pack of crooks. I told them exactly what I have here, a small farm, and the agent sold me insurance including a separate liability policy for an extra $100 a year. The agent even inspected the premises in person. I learned 3 years later that State Farm does not insure farms of any type or size and the insurance that I paid 3 years of premiums on was never valid. The agent knew this very well, but in that 3 years he constantly talked me into increasing the insurance. If I had ever had a claim the company would have refused to cover it and I would have had to get a lawyer to sue them. This is insurance fraud and both the company and the agent profited from it and did not give me any refund when I found out about it and complained. Oh no -- they just immediately sent me a letter cancelling the policy without doing the slightest to help me transfer to a company that COULD insure farms. I would never trust State Farm.

I have been a State Farm customer for over 20 years & have always been proud to share that with people. The girls in my local office are friendly, knowledgeable, & helpful. I’d hear people complain about their insurance company high premiums, the lack of support, the denial of claims, & think how blessed I was to be a State Farm customer. I had always had good experiences with State Farm & felt I could depend on the services I purchased, that is until the last four years. In 2015 I had my roof redone. Not due to any damage, but because it was that time. My home was built in 1987 & needed an upgrade. The contractor was great. They were reasonably priced of all the quotes I had gotten, efficient, & thorough.
In October 2016 Hurricane Matthew came through the Charleston area. It brought substantial high winds, heavy rain, broke trees, uprooted trees, & flooded in some areas. After the storm passed, we found several large limbs on our roof. We carefully removed them but did not see any visible damage. Several months later we discovered that rain had been dripping into our back wall & seeping under our floor. The area was at the back of the house is where the chimney is enclosed. I contacted State Farm & filed a claim.
The adjuster came out & said one of the limbs from the storm had put a hole in our chimney. It was weird to me at the time that the claim was paid to replace the flooring that was damaged, but not the necessary roof repairs. I did question this, & even pointed out that the winds from Hurricane Matthew had shook my house so hard that a crack had developed in the concrete of my patio floor which is raised off the ground. I was told that this is the way they (State Farm) write claims & I could use the money for whatever I chose. I chose to have the chimney repaired of course. They were saying the storm caused a hole which was where the rain was getting into the wall, so if I did not repair it, I would continue to have water damage. The chimney repair was the only logical option, so I had it completely rebuilt from the roof up.
A few months later when consulting someone to complete the floor repairs we discovered the leak issue on the back wall had not been resolved & rainwater had continued to drip in the wall & seep under the flooring. I contacted State Farm to make them aware what they stated was the issue had obviously not been correct, that the problem continued, & damage from the storm had been overlooked. I was given a lot of run around & talked in circles with insurance terms which was very frustrating. I was made to feel like I did not know what I was talking about & felt defeated. After several more bouts with rain I contacted State Farm again to discuss the unresolved matter only to be left feeling the same, defeated. My roof was brand new & the only occurrence that could have caused the damage was Hurricane Matthew.
From that point, the rainwater leak continued & signs of additional rain run off began to appear in other locations of my interior walls & ceiling. In September 2019 we had another hurricane make landfall. Rainfall from Hurricane Dorian of course dripped into the exterior wall & seeped under my flooring in the exact spots from the 2016 storm claim, but it also knocked over part of my fence, & tore some siding off my house. I was very upset to have to continue dealing with the original issue but now have new issues. Previous experience told me State Farm would not be easy to deal with, so I dreaded having to contact them. I did finally contact them & they filed an additional claim. In December 2019 the adjuster came out & prepared the attached.
I expressed all my frustrations over the initial claim. I was vocal on feeling no one was adequately diagnosing the damage from the 2016 storm & that the work I was advised to have done had not resolved the issue. The adjuster told me that he had worked with Big Bear Roofing on several jobs & recommended them. He even called them speaking with his contact as he walked my roof. His contact told him he would have the rep who happened to live across the street from me contact me. I was then contacted by Big Bear Roofing & scheduled a meeting to evaluate the work needed. I received the attached proposal, paid Big Bear Roofing in full, & had the work done.
I was hopeful afterwards but unfortunately the work the adjustor & Big Bear Roofing advised would be needed to resolve my issue did not resolve the problem. I had to call Big Bear Roofing back out to show them gaps between the boards installed on my patio & where they had cut trim off my chimney that was not put back flush but completely unaligned & caked with caulk to fill in where they had not properly aligned it. I was told that the board gaps on the patio would not cause any issues, but the gaps are obvious so I’m positive rain will eventually be seeping through. As for the damage they caused to my chimney trim, I was told that they would fix it. That has never happened.
A few months went by & with each rainfall my original issue from the 2016 Hurricane damage along with newer issues continued. I reached out to Big Bear Roofing making them aware the work they had done still had not resolved the interior leak issues. Rain can be heard dripping in the wall, the flooring continues to get wet from underneath, & new water damage continues to appear on my ceiling & wall. I also contacted State Farm to make them aware the original issue was still not resolved & the work the adjustor & Big Bear Roofing had stated were required had not resolved the issues. I received the same reception from them as I had in the past, not their problem anymore.
With Big Bear Roofing it took numerous attempts, before they finally came back out to reevaluate my issues. This time Big Bear Roofing recommended different work be done & said I would not be charged given what I had already paid for that did not resolve the issues. It again took multiple attempts, but they did finally schedule this additional work, however what they did this time still did not resolve the water leaks & the work they did to the the back portion of my roof is now mismatched from the rest of the roof. In 2015 I had my roof redone with brown architectural shingles. What Big Bear Roofing put on was back flat tar looking paper. My roof is now two colors with two different styles.
This additional work by Big Bear Roofing still did not resolve the rainwater leaks. I again made State Farm aware & began contacting Big Bear Roofing again as well. In my contacts to Big Bear Roofing I made them aware the issues were still not resolved that I was upset over their work causing my roof to be mismatched, about the chop job done to my chimney. It again it took numerous attempts to get them back out, but when they came back this time, they recommended running a water test on the back of my roof where the water is getting into the wall.
This test did not yield any resolution of where the water was entering my home. Big Bear Roofing said maybe it was the chimney cap because a corner of it shows signs of rust. Interesting being that cap has been on there the whole 16 years I’ve owned this home & there have been no water issues until after Hurricane Mathew in 2016. And, one would think that if the cap was the issue then professionals like Big Bear Roofing & educated State Farm adjustors would have known that instead of recommending thousands for unnecessary work, right? None of this surprised to me.
I’ve been telling State Farm for three years that the assessment of damage to my home was not coming from the chimney as they had claimed. Of course, Big Bear Roofing recommended replacing the chimney cap & said they would only charge me the cost of the item. I spoke with them just before the July 4th holiday. I was told they would get the cap info, call me with cost, & schedule to put it on. I have never heard back from them.
On August 24th I spoke with State Farm again about my claim & the unresolved issues since 2016. When I pointed out to the State Farm claims representative that I had the roof redone in 2015 & had no issues until after the 2016 storm he began to place blame on the work done by the contractor. He said this is now their stand on this matter & stated they will do nothing further. I hung up on him.
I may not be a claims representative, an adjustor, or a roof contractor but I am far from ignorant. Waters runs & being I’ve had the work recommended by all these professional, knowledgeable people done yet the original issues still exist & new damages are occurring give complete merit that obviously damaged to the roof from the 2016 storm was not found & the water is running from other than where the focus has been.
I have now been living several years with this original issue not being resolved & additional damages occurring. I now have dark shadowing on my walls, so I’m concerned with mold in my attic, & water marks on walls & numerous places in my ceilings. I can’t replace my flooring, can’t paint my walls, can’t repair my ceiling, & may be living with toxic growth because rain is still going to come & continue damaging these areas.
It’s a very hard pill to swallow knowing I’ve done business all these years with State Farm & trusted them to have my back on my biggest asset just to be dismissed & treated as though I’m just an unknowledgeable woman trying to “get over” on them. In my mind it shows the true character of this business. I am nothing more than a contributor to their million-dollar salaries & million-dollar incentive bonuses.

We were planning to purchase a home across town, and notified State Farm right away, so the new home would be insured the day we closed on it. Once we moved in, we were fixing up the old house to sell, so we were at our previous home 6-7 days a week. Four months passed and we got a letter from State Farm notifying us they were cancelling the homeowner's policy on the old house because it was vacant. They had known for several months prior what our plans were, and never once said it was a problem. We had less than 3 weeks to find another policy, all while we were trying to ready the house for market. Talk about a stressful nightmare.
Needless to say, we dropped State Farm, after 44 years of faithfully paying premiums. We had over a million dollars of our properties insured with them, but our loyalty meant nothing. The "vacant" house was in a beautiful area with one of the country's lowest crime rates. Their shameful treatment of us cost us several thousand dollars. Three months after we changed insurance companies, the agent finally called us and said for a one-time $50 fee, they'd continue coverage on the house. They were about a year too late.

There are no pipes or anything in our attic. This water came from the roof or some other defect in the house. We had several contractors and experts come out and inspect the damage. Every single one of these companies that we had out said that there was a lot that needed fixed and replaced. The house is not even livable right now.
The insurance adjuster is only paying to remove insulation from attic, and dry out the water in the attic. He said nothing else needs to be done, and that he is closing the case. We have several contractors saying otherwise. We have a bid for over $88,000 in damages. That's how bad it is.

I have been waiting to write this review as our home that was insured by State Farm has been sold. I waited because if I were to write it while they were still insuring my house, I am positive they would have retaliated by cancelling the policy while the house was on the market, causing the house to not be able to be sold. My husband had been a state farm customer all of his life, he's 51 now. We bought the house I am referring to in 1997. State farm was the insurance carrier for 23 years.
At one point my husband lost his job and his company gave him a choice of taking a job in another city or be put on the street. The new job was for markedly less money. We had to pick up our lives and children and move literally overnight. While we were renting a house in the new city we were travelling back and forth trying to get our original house cleaned, repaired and ready to be put on the market.
We were on the verge of bankruptcy. The stress was unreal, it affected our health both mentally and physically. We were about to have things relatively under control when we found out State Farm was cancelling our insurance. Yeh, JUST what we needed. Why were they doing that? They said we "abandoned" our home. REALLY?!?! WE WERE TRYING TO SURVIVE! But it gets better. To build on their petty case they took a photo of a gas can that my husband hadn't been able to fit into the 12th U-Haul truck that we used during multiple trips. They said the gas can meant we were careless, dangerous people. They never contacted us or asked us what was going on. They just cancelled the policy.
We had a claim the year before after YEARS of NO claims due to hail damage that was neighborhood wide, not just us. I have read that if you make a claim no matter how many years you have been a loyal customer they will cancel you. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and they came down on our necks with both feet. My husband is a fighter though, and when he gets pissed he levels people. He countered everything they accused us of with proof otherwise and he was willing to take it to court. They ultimately backed down but raised our premiums.
A lot of people don't have the where-with-all to fight like my husband does, and those are the people that State Farm preys upon. I wanted to try to get a different carrier but my husband is stubborn and said State Farm was going to do as they promised and insure our house. What kind of company acts this way toward other human beings?? They had NO sympathy and actually acting quite pleased to hold authority over the situation. Their attitude was too bad, we will do what we want, you have no say. PLEASE heed my and other reviewers warnings! DO NOT give this company your money. They will screw you the first chance they get!

My home was insured with State Farm Insurance. We had storm/tornado/hail damage to our property in Texas. We filed claim within 3 days of damage. The adjuster assigned to us never showed up until 2 months later. State Farm refused to pay our claims. State Farm Insurance is happy to collect the premium that you pay. The Company will continue to be a good company until you make a claim. If you make any claim no matter how small, State Farm will either cancel your policy or totally reject your claim and will be willing to fight you in court. Beware; avoid this company or you will regret having anything to do with it.

I have been with SF for many years with no claims. I have high deductibles to keep price in check. This year I had two claims. One was a tornado that blew some shingles off my roof, the inspector came out and dismissed it, and there was no repairs needed. The second claim was after a hurricane in that case many shingles were blown loose and on to the ground, along with a scratch on my truck from the debris. The inspector indicated about one third of the roof was impacted, and his professional opinion was repair the roof. Now this is no shack and the existing roof is 10 years old, on which I pay for full replacement in my policy with a 5,000 dollar deductible.
After speaking with several roofing contractors who all agreed a new roof was in order I called the adjuster, he told me the truck should have been in the garage, and he did not care what anyone said. He stands by his inspection, what a conceited and ignorant man. So now I have a $200,000 house that they want me to pay $3,000 out of pocket for a patch job. The end result is I will put a new roof on my house and no one will dictate to me what I will do with my property. I am moving all my business to another company because I am the customer, and they are the service company. I had similar problems with my auto insurance, the local office is great, but for any claims it will be a 1 800 number and then it is not personal anymore, I am so unhappy with this company.

I cannot warn you enough! Like a good neighbor State Farm will not be there. Do not believe their commercials. I, like most other people have always considered State Farm to be a top rated insurance company until I had a house claim a month ago for a leak in my bathroom. From the second I called my agent he begun to tell me how Tough it was to get a claim for a leak covered. He even told me that 1 of his family members left them due to a denied claim. So I begun to ask him, "What do you mean? Why would a leak not be covered?" And all he could reply was, "I don't really know if it will or not," and boy was he right!
From the second I called to make a claim the lady I spoke to told me she would not authorize any work be done. Told me I had to hire a plumber to figure out where the leak was coming from and what the problem was at my own expense and she would send a gesture out to see if it was a covered claim. Look I don't wanna ramble on. I am not the best writer but I will tell you this. The claims adjuster came out and immediately declined the claim and said, "Any leaks are not covered under your homeowner's policy." I was never informed this when I got my home owner's insurance and was not aware that water leaks are not covered claims. Run folks run! If you don't believe me just start doing some research and you will see from hundreds of other people who have left bad reviews that I am telling you the truth.

Our recently purchased condo was flooded due to our upstairs neighbor's water heater bursting. It was a headache, but we called our agent who guided us on the process of calling a mitigation company. It took some time for our policy to be finalized given we had just closed on the property, but once it was, State Farm sent out an appraiser to inspect the damage.
Two weeks later, we got an estimate for repairs from the appraiser. During this time, we had 5 different contractors come to give us estimates. Since all estimates were higher the state farms appraiser, State Farm negotiated with our favorite contractor, and they agreed on a budget. They then sent us a check and we dispersed the money to the contractor.
I would say there are pros and cons to their model. Pros: you can choose who you want to do the construction and mitigation/ the negotiation process was quick. Cons: you’re in charge of dispersing the money. (So basically this elongated the process by at least 2 weeks. We had to send the check first to our mortgage company to endorse and then into our bank Processing center since they wouldn’t accept the check amount as a branch deposit.) Overall, given it was an overall stressful experience, our experience with State Farm was positive.

"We insure stupidity. We don't cover for accidents" is the exact quote I got from a State Farm adjuster when I asked if my water heater leaked would it be covered. The answer was an unequivocal no. Now if I had been warned about the water heater leaking and I did nothing about it, if I was neglectful, they would cover it. If I did shoddy work on it that wasn't up to snuff, they'd insure the damage it caused. But if the water heater was properly maintained, and I was responsible and this was an accident that had nothing to do with me being irresponsible or neglectful, the leak and all subsequent damage would NOT be covered.
I was speechless. This is the only reason I have insurance because I am responsible and maintain my house. To quote the adjuster, "If you came home drunk and left the water running in your tub and it overflowed, we'd cover it, but if your water heater pipe came loose and flooded your condo and all the people who live beneath it, we wouldn't cover it."

Contacted State Farm and argued with the representative for hours because he wouldn't send a claim adjuster until I have proven without doubt it was damaged from the storm. How can a homeowner do that? I had multiple contractors to review and all but 1 said they would like to help me but won't work with State Farm. The only thing to do is tear up the side of my brick house to find out where water will leak.
After giving the quote to State Farm they came out, didn't look at the outside but only agreed to pay for the damage inside. Discussing with them, the call in number specialist, and their manager. I was simply told if I can't determine show them where the water came in, how it was damaged (time, day, event), prove the hole size that water could flow in, and I had to pay everything upfront to find it. After weeks of discussing, I got a letter from State Farm telling me if I didn't fix the issue of the water leaking they will cancel my insurance. I discussed this the manager and said water probably came in by poor maintenance and it is the "joys of owning a home". How do you maintenance a brick wall? My recommendation is be a good State Farm customer and find another company to deal with. They will not help and ultimately it is the homeowner's responsibility to know if anything changes outside before it occurs.

STEER CLEAR OF STATE FARM AND THIS AGENCY!!! On January 22 I was sleeping only to be awakened in the middle of the night by running water gushing from my ceiling. Apparently I had a frozen pipe. Water must’ve been running for hours and an estimated 3000 gallons of water flooded my home. I contacted my agent to report the claim. I was then contacted by State Farm claims and before they would send an adjuster or to honor my claim any further, and I have a letter that proves it, they asked me to get a plumber to the come to the home and write a written report as to why the pipe failed??? Are you kidding me?...
Under the terms on my policy, I’m covered for water damage in my primary residence, being at home with the heat on. Could not get a plumber to come to the home and write a report, and I called my agent's office several times to ask them to intervene to help send an adjuster to look at my damages. They could not and not do anything for me. Couldn’t even find me a plumber to come to my house to help me. After about a week I gave up and contacted a public adjuster who was able to help me.
When I called my agent TROY ** to intervene for me because no adjuster was coming, my house was in shambles, my fiancee was sneezing and coughing all over the house because she has asthma and is allergic to all the dust from all of the remediation fans blowing, the agent pretty much told me to go pound sand. So... because I was represented by a public adjuster... that he couldn’t do anything for me and that State Farm claims wouldn’t even take his call. That’s really great neighbor service isn’t it? Won’t even pick up the phone and try to make a call to help this customer out. Doesn’t sound like a good neighbor to me.
SINCE JANUARY 22, I don’t have an estimate from State Farm, I don’t have a check... and I have no confirmation that my claim will be paid. They did send an adjuster about 2 weeks ago (do you believe it took a month to send an adjuster to look at my damages?). And now all of sudden because I am fighting City Hall, we’re playing the old shell game... Now another adjuster been assigned to come out and look at the damages... Starting the whole claim from scratch... isn't that great service!!??
So, from January 22 there is no estimate, no promise of payment, no advice as to what to do regarding any water or mold damage, etc... no itemize list of agreed-upon damages, NO HELP FROM MY AGENT AFTER REPEATED CALLS... nothing. And to top it off most of my furniture has been thrown away because it was soaking wet and started to smell of mold. No guarantee they’ll pay for that either... I guess if it’s not here, since this new adjuster wants to start from scratch. The only two communications I received from State Farm was one telling me to get a plumber's report before they would consider the claim further, and (2) is another letter indicating that if I disagreed with their determination that I can file for arbitration. I guess I’m not the only one that receives a lousy service if they’re sending letters like that right off the bat.
If anybody expects or thinks this is a good neighbor service they are sadly mistaken. STAY AWAY FROM STATE FARM and AGENT TROY **!!! And the last thing I would do is try to piss my customer off and tell them that there’s nothing they can do. There’s always something you can do! As if I’m wrong or something because I wanted to get a public adjuster to represent me. It isn’t like I went a whole week not asking for help. When my house was flooded. Sending multiple emails to State Farm claims asking them to send an adjuster. What a God awful rotten way to treat a good paying customer. To top it all off I have a son with severe autism who is in a residential facility. I can’t even take my boy home. And no one at State Farm cares. Nobody. Signed, a frustrated customer that did nothing wrong other than call in a claim.

I was with my prior carrier for over 10 years. I kept getting postcards in the mail from local agent that could save me money. I called them and they asked how much I was paying. That was my first mistake. They were able to beat my rate and when I called my agent to cancel, he told me it was unusual for State Farm to beat their company's rates. He asked me to bring the insurance to his office when I got in mail. I did what he asked and he saw that State Farm gave me a higher deductible, less coverage on the house and rated masonry, which my house has vinyl siding. One month later I got another invoice in the mail from State Farm. I called the State Farm agent up and he said the rating was wrong. I asked if it was due to masonry and he said yes. I told him I never said it was masonry and it wasn't my fault. He said he was sorry but couldn't do anything. I canceled everything and went back to my agent who never lied to me in 10 years.

My husband and I have been with State Farm over 30 years including cars, jewelry and life insurance. After a major straight line wind and hail storm we had significant damage to our roof and windows. Our agent provided the contractor to repair all the damage. The roofing company did not use the right size nails and for the next 10 plus years we paid out of our pocket to replace shingles. We had our agent out several times to show him the shoddy work but to no avail until a roofing company contacted the claims office. The State Farm adjuster stated that was one of the worst roofing jobs he had ever seen.
The roof was replaced finally but fast forward to this past fall when we discovered the water line to our refrigerator had been leaking for no telling how long and mold was growing up the walls and cabinets. State Farm did repair everything including our hardwood floors. Our agent called us today to inform us that they were cancelling our homeowner’s policy. Really?? Like a good neighbor my foot! Morally wrong on every level. I believe State Farm owes me the premiums I have paid all these years minus what they have paid in a few claims. Why not just raise my deductible or premiums? Instead we have to spend hours searching for another carrier. To all you recent graduates headed out on your own be very careful in who you choose and I highly recommend anyone other than State Farm.

First and only claim in twenty-two years. Hurricane Florence tore most of the shingles and paper off our fifteen year old roof. Thus allowing cascades of water to pour into our two story house damaging insulation, drywall, ceilings, floors, electrical fixtures in the majority of our home for four days before we were able to get a tarp on the roof. Dealing with State Farm nearly caused me to have a nervous breakdown. Finally I had to turn all dealings with them over to my daughter just to keep from ending up in the hospital. Though she is very resourceful, she eventually hired an independent adjuster because she could get nowhere with them. We got multiple estimates. The best for the roof was $8500, for the interior work $50000. Even with the public adjuster we only ended up with $30000 total from State Farm.
We had to reach out to volunteer groups to get much of the work done as there was not enough to pay the contractors. They did do a fine job. After four months we are still displaced. Additional living expenses are not forthcoming. We are two months behind in the rental and have to yet to get any payment for dry cleaning, utilities, gasoline, or food. The monies were made out to us, and the mortgage company so now we are having to jump through hoops to get the money from them. A very knowledgeable help desk said that they didn't know how to deal with this as they had not seen any other insurance company make out checks this way. Bottom line? Stay away from State Farm!

My elderly mother, who suffers from dementia, had a prized Persian carpet in her bedroom. We removed the carpet and put it into the building's communal storage room after she had a knee operation, fearing that she would trip over it. Once in storage, the carpet was moved temporarily outside on account of a leak in the storage room. While there, it was inadvertently picked up as trash since it was near some trash bags.
Fortunately, we had this particular carpet appraised and insured with State Farm and much to my surprise, State Farm agreed to reimburse us for the full value. They gave me an approval over the phone after reviewing our policy and as they listened to my story about what happened. I did not even have to submit any paperwork or formal claim. I was blown away by the gesture and by them not trying to wiggle out on the technicality that the carpet was not inside my Mom's apartment. I am a State Farm customer myself and I told the representative that given their response, they will now have me as a customer for life.

I handled a homeowner's insurance claim on behalf of my uncle who was hospitalized at the time, and the total related costs to repair his house were $45,000. After paying insurance premiums to State Farm for over 30 years, this was the first claim ever made on his policy. They canceled his insurance policy immediately after the claim was filed and only paid $25,000 of the claim when I was ensured in the beginning that he had coverage for the actual cost of the repairs. The adjuster simply said that State Farm feels that my contractor's fees were too high for what they thought were reasonable, so we're just out the money that we paid for the repairs. They didn't offer any assistance in finding a contractor that would work for half price, and I chose the cheapest bid that I got. I'm glad I didn't go with the middle ground bid I got because I would really be out some money then. This is a horrible company. I would never get insurance with them again.

I have had State Farm insurance for forty+ years, so naturally, my daughter chose State Farm to insure her auto and home. On July 17, 2018, her family's home was struck by lightning and caught on fire. The fire departments that responded were able to contain the fire to the roof, attic, and upstairs rooms. Unfortunately, the fire burned out the electrical connections and the water damage seeped through the walls down through all the floors including the finished basement. State Farm came to look at the damage, but took four months to provide an estimate for a settlement. During that time, we have had more rain and snow. The water damage has intensified. Moisture and mold have taken over.
The estimate from State Farm was less than a third of what reputable contractors said it would take to do the work, and the estimate did not include replacement of furniture and personal items. My daughter has faithfully paid her premiums, ensuring she had a policy that would cover the value of her home. Yes, State Farm provided them with a rental home, telling them four months would give them plenty of time to take care of everything. Fortunately, she and her husband pushed for longer time, since it is now December, and still nothing is done on their home. State Farm's commercials promise, "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there," "to help life go right." It's apparent they have a hidden clause that says, "that's as long as you keep paying us and never expect us to fulfill our pledge and cover your costs during natural disasters."

I've recently changed to another insurance company after 17 years with State Farm Insurance covering multiple policies including home/business and auto. I've never had a claim. In September 2018, I suffered water damage from a flood caused by a pipe burst in the ceiling/wall causing considerable damage to the finished basement structure. I paid immediately for water mitigation which caused thousands of dollars at State Farm's insistence to use a local company and that it might or might not be reimbursed.
From the beginning of the claim, to acquiring attorneys to recoup a small portion of the loss, I was treated not like a customer but someone who was trying to commit fraud. Questions from the call center reps, to the claims manager to the adjuster are all designed to make you say something in a state of stress that will lower your claim. Beware of State Farm's tactics which compensate employees for lowering the claim amount. Sounds crazy, but this is their model.
Bottom line to three months without the use of a house or a settled claim is a restorative bill of $24K to put the house back to the pre-flood condition and State Farm paying ONLY $5K of the claim. Period. Over 17 years of policy premiums, I'd have enough money to pay for most of the damage. Attorneys are looking at policy changes over those years where deductions were fraudulently made from coverage by State Farm without proper notification to the insured. Also, changing a deductible from $1,000 to 1/2 of one percent of the coverage, total value.
Beware of this company and do your homework with any other insurance company to understand what changes they can make to deductibles/coverage and how they need to notify you. It is best to review twice a year to be safe. I have no idea how the employees and CEO of the company sleep soundly at night knowing they are defrauding policyholders and as a policy compensate employees on the amount of the claim differences they do not pay.

We got legitimate quotes from contractors and they try to use every excuse to nickel and dime us. Won’t even cover cost for my contractor to show up much less do the work.
Claims department took over a month to even call us back, what a joke. I call them every day trying to get some resolution, then a month later they call and have missed most of the damage, the adjuster comes out and measures by the square inch. When it's clear the contractor has to rip off half of the roof to fix that little bit they are trying to say is damaged. Go to another carrier. Whatever you do don’t use these people.

I called and spoke to my Agent and he, who refuses to come out to our home 5 minutes away from his office, told us that State Farm would probably cancel our insurance on this claim but he wasn’t sure and would not know until renewal time.

I am going to expose you for who you really are and will not quit till I die. I still have my mind, my only weapon, and the only one I need.

I had State Farm Insurance for years and years for home and auto - so did my whole family from Grandparents on. My husband and I bought a beautiful vintage (read 100 year old) home. 15 years later we got divorced. We NEVER filed a claim on the home. After the divorce we rented the home to my sister. They had a chimney fire and called State Farm to inquire about filing a claim, but never filed one. Then the upstairs bathroom required replacing because the ancient house had ancient plumbing. We filed a claim and were denied due to ancient house having ancient plumbing that was not up to date - DUH! Then State Farm dropped us. They never ever even paid a claim, or anything at all! We had filed a claim, though, so they dropped us. Shame on State Farm. I have since had Liberty Mutual, who actually not only pays your claims, but makes sure you are well taken care of. And DOESN'T drop you for filing. Steer AWAY from State Farm.

I want to update my complaint of last week. I would definitely not recommend this ins co. They have the most reckless rhetoric. They confuse & refuse. Their main insurance adjuster called us up & asked if we felt they were treating veterans differently than other persons. He started questioning my husband's service record. We heard another excuse for temporary housing reimbursement. We should have rented another place (my husband is sick from breathing toxic molds, furniture contaminated & house under construction). That is when I told him they treat everyone like dirt.
We are 2 disabled seniors who were unfortunate to rent a house from their insured. Their defense attorneys must be hand picked for being spiteful. They know our ex attorney did not give us our complete file & did not answer motions amongst other malpractice. They went into court and did not email us the court decision, instead mailed it to our former address. They have our email & were advised by us to send any & all information to us.
I called defense by accident and gave them our new address. We have been struggling to put our file together to hire another attorney, as we need to recover our retirement account. They are only interested in Their bottom line, It is all about PROFIT and MONEY and that is important. They are underhanded and should be ashamed of themselves for their unethical practices. I have again reported their outrageous acts to the Department of Insurance. They do not like any bad publicity. They want you to think they are your Good Neighbor, but don’t go & borrow a cup of sugar from them. Please find Mr. Rogers. You will be better off.

I have been with State Farm Insurance good or bad for over 30 years. My current house has been covered since 1997 by them. The only claim made was a grease fire in January of this year which cost around $6,000.00. Consider my surprise when I received a notice now canceling my homeowner's insurance due to that one claim. I may be wrong, but apparently this is not a company that is looking beyond the bottom line. I am not sure what the trigger was for this, since one claim seems a bit of overkill. Maybe due to the fact that I have really had no major claims in all these years, I did not realize how bad of a company State Farm was. So now I research new homeowner's insurance and my auto will move also. It will cost me to move the auto insurance, but peace of mind is more important. Please share my message to hopefully help others.

After having our homeowner's insurance with State Farm for over 30 years, as well as three cars insured with them, we had a claim for roof damage and siding damage from a hail storm last year totaling approximately $18,000. About 10 years ago, we had a claim for a damaged floor due to a leaking dishwasher for $2,000. We wondered if our rates would go up. They did not... Instead we were informed that due to excessive claims, we would be dropped. We searched and searched and finally found ONE company willing to insure us. Be careful of making claims, even if they are totally legit. At least we got the satisfaction of cancelling all of our auto policies with them. Our agent actually had the nerve to call us asking why we cancelled the auto policies. Hmmm...

Called State Farm to put a claim in for my mother whose lights were out for 4 days due to "Hurricane Florence". I was told by the rep that if my mother filed a claim to replace her spoiled items that she could stand a chance of being canceled in the future because she had a claim 2 yrs. ago. My mother is 86 yrs old and have been with State Farm for a eternity and during that time she has only filed 1 claim. Each month State Farm took her money and no one said it would be a negative outcome if she paid on time monthly. I am very disappointed in this company that joyfully take your premium monthly and poorly service you in a time of need.

Our neighbor's home exploded and damaged our home and garage. The contractors that STATE FARM recommended have been horrible to work with. They are unresponsive and lack a sense of urgency in completing the work. When asked STATE FARM to intervene and mediate, still no progress. It has been a full year since the accident and we are still without a garage. We are fast approaching another Illinois winter with no garage.
Our experience with STATE FARM and the contractors they recommended has been horrible; disappointing and infuriating. We just wanted STATE FARM on our side to ensure we are made whole again and it seems like they just make excuses for the contractor. Again, it's been a full year and nothing other than ply board over the damage on the garage has been completed. The entire garage has to come down and I'm not confident it will be complete before winter which means it might take up to 2 years before we see a completed garage. Does that sound right to anyone?!

On August 6th we noticed multiple spots of water leaks in the kitchen ceiling. I assumed this was from Master Bath as the Master Bath was over Kitchen where the leak appeared. I immediately put in the claim in telling them possibly the leak was from the Master Bath shower. They asked me to pick 1 out of 3 water remediation company and I chose Service Master randomly. State Farm called Service Master and scheduled for them to come in. I settled on 20th August to start work. I even asked State Farm that do I need to wait till the State Farm Adjuster comes in before the work to begun. I was told No.
My assumption was that State Farm and Service Master knows what needs to be done. Immediately, Service Master demolished the Master Bath Shower, flooring, and Cabinet Toe Kick. They started their heat/blower treatment. The State Farm adjuster came on 24th August and started saying this is a long term leak and was berating the Service Master on why they junked what they removed from the Master Bath. She then proceeded to deny the claim saying the water leak was long term leak. Service Master had already disposed off the shower pan and shower walls made of cultured marble. Now, I have no payment to replace the demolition of Master Bath and a denial of claim. I am very unhappy with the way State Farm has handled this claim. Very disappointed customer of State Farm.

I purchased a different homeowners insurance and State Farm has denied to reimburse me stating I didn't notify them, which I did. This happened eight months ago and based on information from my mortgage company I thought they reimbursed them directly. Since I don't see the mortgage company pay them, I wasn't expecting to see the reimbursement. Didn't realize they didn't cancel my policy until I received a renewal notice. I have tried to reconcile this with them to no avail.

BEWARE neighbors. Anyone affected by the recent storms? State Farm is trying to pay nothing on claims. If anything the absolute bare minimum. I had been a customer for over 37 years. Not 1 claim on my home and when I needed them, nothing. 7 weeks of stress, time, and paying out of my own pocket. They expected me to be without A/C in the midst of 115-121 degrees, no offer for a hotel, NOTHING. I suggest you look into other reputable companies, the cost, and CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. My agent is right near Moon Valley and is fully aware of the storm's damage that has taken place in the past 2 months. Their claims adjusters are not there to help you, they are there to let you know you have paid increases because of catastrophes and now that you need help they can't pay out because too many people took advantage over the years. This is not a Rinky Dink company. GO ELSEWHERE, STATE FARM IS TERRIBLE.

State Farm Insurance policy is the worst policy I've ever experienced, their water damage policy is not worth the paper it's written on. I filed a claim for damages and they used the benefit of wording to deny claim based upon leaks for weeks, months, or years. SF failed to pay for the water restoration and for the repairs.

I have had two roofing companies inspect my roof and say that there was significant wind and hail damage. Both took pictures which showed problems State Farm's adjuster has contradicted their findings and said there is no damage. While I realize that roofing companies have an incentive to replace roofs, they do not have an incentive to waste time on good roofs. I have had State Farm homeowners insurance for over 20 years and their auto insurance for 50 years. Several other homes in my area have experienced hail and wind damage and their roofs have been replaced by different insurance companies. While I am not personally a roofing expert, I am concerned that in the pursuit of profits, State Farm is downplaying damage and dodging paying for legitimate claims.

I have had some type of policy with State Farm Insurance since I was 16 years old and first got my driver's license. I currently have several life insurance policies and a policy for insurance on my home. While I was on a 10 day vacation with my family, my house was broken into. TVs, laptops, jewelry, and some very expensive designer purses were stolen. MD State Police are investigating and have the full details in my police report. State Farm is REFUSING to pay me for all of my items. They are not treating me as the victim in this situation. The "run-around" that they are giving me is ridiculous. Who has receipts from items they've owned for a few years? They take my money every month but won't pay me for my items. It's appalling and they are severely damaging the 32 year relationship that I have had with them. My agent, Steve **, has NOT intervened on my behalf.
There is PROOF that the person who stole my items has tried to sell them, yet I STILL cannot get my money. After this is resolved, I will be canceling each and EVERY policy I have with State Farm. It is appalling and disturbing that loyal customers are treated as such. It has been well over a month. I have spoken to many different claims reps but nobody can help. They continue to tell me that they will not pay until they get a police report. MD State Police will NOT give out a police report until the investigation is fully closed. This could take MONTHS!!! Meanwhile, it has cost me money to replace my stolen items. How fair is this? I have been a loyal customer for way too many years to be treated as such and I will BLAST State Farm on every social media outlet I can. I will NEVER do business with this company again. They have gotten my money for 32 years. I've never had a claim, EVER and this is ridiculous.

We have been State Farm customers for 30 years. We reported a claim in 2015 for hail damage to our roof because— an adjuster came out and said no damage. Even though my entire neighborhood received new roofs. The adjuster said the hail cloud skipped our home. In 2016 I noticed a leak in my kitchen. I called my agent and she said I needed to call a roofer — I did and on his inspection he said they made a mistake in 2015. We do need a new roof. So I called the agent again. State Farm said my conversation with my agent was in March 2016 but State Farm came to inspect the roof in July 2016– they gave us Money then.
Workers of State Farm Home office said they were told in July 2016. Keep in mind I called my agent about the hailstorm of 2015 but State Farm said we had a wind storm in 2016. It has been mass confusion — but since I didn’t have my roof repaired by March 2018 they want release the remainder of the money to repair my roof. I understand that we needed to have the roof replaced but my husband and the independent roofer worked on the area that leaked. Roofer came out and gave bids but wasn’t included our shop so it was a nightmare getting all the bids — and then Harvey came through Houston and one roofer left for that job. If valued customers are held to State Farm’s time frame should they send notification that your time is about to expire. Unless that is what they hope for.

I have reached out multiple times regarding an issue I am having with a lost insurance check. The check was only signed by one endorser so the bank declined to cash it. However, they will not give the check back. They say it is up to my insurance company to reissue a new check. State Farm will not reissue a check because they are showing it being cashed. BECAUSE IT IS PENDING IN MY BANK NOW FOR 2 WEEKS. I understand that this is partially my fault. However, they are doing nothing to help me. I have so much damage to my home and no money to fix the issues.
I have asked that they get in contact with my bank to confirm that the check has not been cashed and that the funds will not be deposited into my account but they will not even attempted to help me sort out this issue. I have sent screenshots of the pending amount showing rejected. This all happening while water continues to leak through my ceiling. I like many other people live paycheck to paycheck and have no money to fix any issues myself. Each time I reach out to speak to a supervisor I am directed somewhere else. I am at a loss. You can bet once this is over and resolved I will be looking elsewhere to cover our home and auto.
