A solid surface is a cheaper alternative, but I think a countertop is one that you should probably just spend the money on.

Rent it cheaper for 4-6 months to get through the winter, then rent it for a higher price or sell it in the spring.I recommend selling because you don't have a good property manager and the market is obviously not strong there.

If they can't do that, keep looking.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

They're cheaper, you can do your own maintenance and if they break, you buy a new one!

They will likely also need to close any access points to satisfy city inspectors that the now capped chimney cannot be used to "vent" anything in the future.You will likely want a demo team that is much cheaper to do the actual demo and haul off, but you need either the mason or an engineer to stipulate how far down they can/should demo, while leaving enough room for the cap to be effective and maintain any structural rigidity into the future to not create more issues.Long story longer, I would call more licensed, insured contractors.
