Default Chimney crown and top repair? - I don't want to be scammed

Hi,
I know my chimney needs repair, but every time the chimney sweep
guys come to clean the flue, they tell me something different (I
need "Chimney Saver" coating, or I need a "Crown Seal" or something
costing $300+ labor) and I fear being scammed. Can you take a look
at these photos? All opinions welcome.

I'm not beyond a DIY project, but it's kind of high and not too
comfortable on ladder for extended duration.

Thanks!


I got a virus notice when I clicked on the first link.


No virus warnings for me. I'm using free MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials)
for antivirus and free Comodo for firewall.
