I've had everything insured with State Farm since my 20's and haven't had an issue with them until the last few years. They have been unnecessarily jacking up my homeowners premium every year. Back in 2006, my homeowners bill was $880. This year they want $1330. I called them up for an explanation and they said it was due to the current cost of building materials. My dwelling only cost $108,000 in 2006 and State Farm is now trying to cram $176,000 worth of dwelling coverage down my throat. WTF! I called BS on that and told them to back it down to $120,000. They claimed that there was no way they could drop it that low. After I threatened to drop all my policies with them and find another insurance company, they dropped dwelling coverage down to $134,000, which still pisses me off. I'm currently shopping for another company to get away from these greedy bastards.
