Spanish term

especializada en reformas integrales de la vivienda

Spanish to English Marketing Architecture
This refers to a company. Don't know if it's because it's so early in the morning but I just can't think of a good phrase.

agree Henry Hinds : We Irish Mexicans can do anything if we put our mind to it. The problem is getting us to put our mind to it. So true, they don't know what they're missing!

Thanks, "R"..y saludos también:-) It's merely a possibility and I told Peter from the outset that without more context, that was all my few remaining neurons could come up with:-)
neutral Daniel Coria : Hi Terry. Is it just my non-native eye or does "housing reforms" sound like government public policy on housing? Saludos/Regards!

Hi Dan! Your eye may be 'non-native' but it's got 20/20 vision.:-) Por supuesto tienes toda la razón pero sin más contexto? No me canso de decir q los traductores somos divinos pero no adivinos! The essential key is a 7-letter word: CONTEXT.Saludotes!

Specialised/experts in complete home renovation

Another option.
Terry's answer is absolutley fine at industry level, however if it is a marketing slogan aimed at the domestic market "home renovation" might be more appropriate. Without more context it's hard to say.
Peer comment(s):

agree eski : I think this is more likely the case; "Complete home renovation" is much more common.Please see "Reference Information" below:

Thank you Terry. Your suggestion is correct too, with plenty of agrees to boot :) It really does depend on the context. It was just the word marketing in the title that made me think that a more consumer orientated option might fit better here.
