1 /5 Ken Montavy: We have been State Farm customers for over 30 years. We’ve always paid our bill on time and in good faith. In March of 2025, the area that we lived in had a bad storm with hail and tornado activity. We are talking close to 3 inches in size. The hail was big enough to bust out my neighbor‘s windows of his bathroom.
It was so bad that I had roofers in my driveway the following morning, wanting to climb up on my roof and give me quotes. We hadn’t even had a chance to see the roof yet.
We filed a claim with State Farm. They agreed to take care of the vehicles. But they would have to send an adjuster to the house to look at the roof.
After having three separate Renfro adjusters (apparently State Farm doesn’t send their own people), come to our house and take pictures of the damage, they have decided they are not going to pay it because it is defective shingles and not hail damage. Keep in mind that the majority of my neighbors had to have their roofs replaced, not to mention garage doors and windows. I’m guessing none of them were “insured “ by State Farm..
From what I’ve been reading, State Farm has developed a habit of telling people to take a hike. I cannot believe that what used to be a reputable company has gone downhill so much.
And when you try to get a hold of someone there, good luck. I don’t care which number you call, you get the same recording, wanting you to send a fax or go online. You can hear it in any language you want, but you sure can’t talk to an actual person.
Luckily, my local agent‘s office still believes in customer service. They are the only way that I can talk to a live person. I have absolutely no complaints about them. I would give them a five star review. But as far as State Farm corporate goes, I would not recommend them to anyone.
