STATE FARM INSURANCE

I have had State Farm Home Owner's insurance since I purchased my home. They did not do the contract properly so the policy ended up staying in the former homeowner's name. My home was damaged by a storm and I had to get a new roof and siding. The roof was not done correctly which was my fault, and state farm paid for that. The are helping me find a new roofer to have it done properly as well. My portion of the complaint comes with the siding. The siding was barely damaged but had a few spots damaged by the storm. Their inspector that came out cut off a piece of siding from a completely different portion of the home. As a result they agreed to pay for the new siding to be put on the entire house. I signed my paperwork and had the siding put on by Thomas Construction in late June/early July. Since that point State Farm has not provided me with ANY money towards the siding projects on the house. They cancelled my policy and made me make a newer one as well. Their claims department does not return phone calls and it as a result I am now paying for the $10,000 siding job out of pocket. Had their inspector not taken siding from the wrong place it would have been a 1-2 piece of siding replacement rather then the entire home. Phil's office itself is fairly nice and he responds to emails and phone calls promptly. The problem lies almost entirely with their claims department.
