A tree limb fell on our power line and bent our electric/cable service
mast. Does anyone know how expensive this will be to have repaired?
Do you think homeowners insurance will cover it?

How badly bent is it? Electricity bends and flows around corners so it may
not be a big deal.
Ask an electrician how much it will cost. I can't see it from here so I can
tell if you need a step ladder or a boom truck to reach it or how far off
the road you are.
I also have no idea what type of policy you have, but your insurance agent
probably will.

A professional tree cutter, cutting one of my trees, dropped a branch
on the neighbor's service line, tearing it off the house and damaging
it. The cost to fix it was $400, including the temporary wire they
put up to get power back to the house on an emergency basis. This was
a few years ago, and materials are way more expensive these days. I
would think that it would cost nearly double today. Insurance should
cover it as an "act of god" unless someone did something to
"encourage" the tree branch to fall.
There are a huge number of variables here, such as size of service,
height of mast, etc. Your electric / cable provider might also charge
to connect or disconnect service to the mast while it is being
repaired.
As the other poster said, it is really hard to see it from here, and
you really haven't given us too much to work from.

You are asking this group to determine your insurance coverage?

I always find posters like this to be in the same category of flys,
mosquitos and rats. All they are is pests that irritate people with
their entirely useless messages.
If the posted a picture and asked if the amount of bend would cause
electrical problems, that would be acceptable, but asking the price
and in this case the insurance coverage means the person is either a
complete idiot or a troll. (or both).
Apparently they are too stupid to use a telephone......
