Does your chimney look like this?
 
Some chimneys are in worse condition than others, some should be replaced with a new chimney.In Most cases repairs can be made(Tuctpointing).
I also repair Stairs, Foundations, and Walls.

Tuctpointing
 
Proper chimney repair is Not Just filling Cracks
Bad mortar is removed with a diamond blade grinder 1/2"-1" deep
Then Brick or Stone must be washed (for dust free surface)
Then new mortar is carefully tuctpointed in

When Chimney Crown is cracked as bad as this one it must be removed and a new cement crown must be poured.
