“Great design will last a lifetime. With every project we feature, durability and high quality is at its core.”— Luis Carrillo, Owner & President
Trusted all over Dallas.
“We had a terrific experience working with Luis and the rest of the Southpaw crew. They completely transformed our garage apartment from dingy and basically unlivable to a beautiful and extremely functional space. Highly recommend working with them and was impressed with the creative design, problem-solving, and transparency throughout the process.”
Barrett Thomas RobinSeptember 30, 2020“Southpaw did an incredible job on our home renovation and we cannot recommend them enough! Our home was flooded during the TX freeze in February and Luis and his crew made this place shine like no other. We highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a quality construction company with great communication. Give them a call!”
Ben CrenshawApril 19, 2021“Southpaw did an amazing job on our wood flooring and indoor painting. They were very responsive and very flexible and worked with our schedule and were even able to get some last minute unexpected jobs done very quickly. Took away all the stress of repairs of our home before move in. Highly recommend!!”

Monticello
A stone-and-timber Tudor cottage brought back to life — arched entries, a rebuilt chimney, and a wraparound porch built for Dallas evenings.
Kensington
Exposed beams, a reclaimed brick fireplace, and warm textures — a living room built to be lived in.
Monaco
Mid-century bones, new confidence — a gallery wall, walnut casework, and color that doesn't apologize.
Colorado
Dark tile, brass hardware, black fixtures — small rooms built with the same discipline as the big ones.
Tex — the face of Southpaw since day one
Built by Luis Carrillo, for Dallas.
Southpaw Trading, LLC is a full-service design + build firm founded by Luis Carrillo in 2015. From East Dallas and the M Streets to Lakewood, Highland Park, Preston Hollow, and beyond, Southpaw handles residential and commercial renovations, new construction, and property management all over Dallas — one crew, one point of contact, start to finish.
Every project starts with discovery, not demo — understanding a property before touching it — and a preservation-first eye on the details worth keeping. It's the same approach that's made Southpaw a go-to for historic renovation work in Oak Cliff and beyond.
Historic renovation, straight from Luis.
