I have a new appreciation for folks going through this sort of thing...

We're recovering from a flood resulting from a broken pipe. State Farm has really been great through the whole thing. They gave me the choice of cashing out on the claim and hiring my own contractor or using one of their contractors. I chose their contractor for no particular reason and have been very glad I did. They are responsible for putting everything back together... when problems arise, they call the insurance company. I've gotten to know the guy running the project pretty well and he says only companies that produce high quality work get approved. Any problems and they get axed from the program. Another benefit is that State Farm makes them put a 5 year warranty on the work. If I had picked a contractor myself, they wouldn't have the motivation of future insurance work to keep them on task. The guys working at my house have been very professional.
