As we enter into the New Year and think about our failures, successes, and celebrations of the previous year, we thought, “What better time than to look back on our best transformations this year?”

Since 1989, Southwest Exteriors has helped hundreds of homeowners in San Antonio find the right solution and transform their homes every year. Whether it’s a few windows to replace or completely changing your entire home’s exterior, we’re here to turn your dreams into a reality.

Let’s look at our top 5 best total transformations of 2022, most of which include full siding replacements, windows replacements, and door replacements.

Trust us. These transformations left these homes totally unrecognizable (in the best way possible).

#1. From Farmhouse to Elegant and Modern
