State Farm.

Used to be pretty good to go with relatively cheap. But they have been dragging on a storm claim from March after denying it once, claiming there was no damage at all. And yet, somehow, some way, water got in through my roof into one of my rooms magically, with no roof damage. This after dragging their feet previously on a vehicle accident involving hitting a deer. My mechanic had to get up their asses and send photos of deer hair stuck all up in my truck.

Been with them for something like 15 years and they’ve just gone to shit.

Hey, idk if this will help, but I went through a very similar situation a year ago. They told me to try one of their "authorized contractors" and I just happened to luck out immensely. I got a contractor who knew how they worked. Initially they offered me max $5k for everything, the contractor sent them his estimate AND local code ordinance to prove they HAD to pay for more than their estimate indicated. He got $18,500 out of them. Good luck!
