Siding is a great home improvement feature, creating curb appeal for the home. It protects home exteriors from unsteady weather conditions and pest infestation. It also adds insulation to the home, providing more comfort for homeowners and helping them cut down on energy consumption. And there are many home siding options out there to fit the look of any home.

Cutting them up into planks and using them as sidings for your home's exterior would give your property a better curb appeal, especially when you have good roofing shingles, doors, windows, and other decor to complement it. The only problem with wood is that it attracts a lot of termites, which San Antonio, Texas has a lot of.

While many San Antonio siding, deck, roofing, and home improvement contractors turn old, dilapidated houses into fabulous-looking ones, there are others who make a bad situation even worse.

She complained that the contractor took her money without completing his tasks.
