Chimney Repair Options

Hello Everyone!

Thanks for taking some time to read this. I am a new homeowner for a few months and our inspector recommended getting our damaged chimney crown fixed. We got two quotes and these are the options from the company that seems more reputable.

1. Crown Wash ($1500) 2 year warranty

2. Poured Crown ($3250) 10 year warranty

Both seem to have pros and cons. I am not sure if it's worth it to get the more expensive fix so I don't have to worry about it for a longer time.

I live in Southern NJ and plan on living here for at least the next 10-15 years. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you! Here are some pictures of my current chimney.
