I'm using Minoan to furnish a luxury STR and it's been incredible, and I am actively trying to find a way to better leverage their service. 

Sorry to hear that happened Ashley - that's incredibly frustrating.

Their process and educational resources have been incredibly helpful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

There’s so much to learn here, and I’m sure you’ll find it incredibly helpful. 

Why would you want to keep it "behind the walls"?

Frame out the wall and use plywood for the siding. 

So yes, you can have solid concrete walls, it's still going to burn down.I have read that worst case up to 80 million Americans will relocate in the next three decades.

As we move into 2025, these trends are shaping how we approach renovations:Open Floor Plans with Purpose: Open concepts remain a top priority, but it’s no longer just about tearing down walls.

I have luckily not had to contact them often but when I have, they have been incredibly helpful (every now and again I get someone that doesn't know what they are doing but no more so than any other call center I call).  

Job included inside work of leveling floors, installing flooring, paint walls, kitchen cabinets, etc in both units, as well as lay a new driveway, fence the back yard, provide attic fans, and install electric to the crawlspace to add lights and a sump pump.
