Why this comes up in Edinboro
Here's what makes Edinboro particular: edinboro Lake sits at the edge of town, and the surrounding high ground drains toward it; the lake and its wetlands take a band of low ground out of the buildable inventory.
Edinboro is a university borough on high ground in the southwestern county, surrounded by Washington Township farm land, and that shapes what gets built here.

What a builder will do
Rot happens where the post meets the ground. The fix is usually cutting the post above the damage and splicing to a new base — a steel bracket on a concrete footing, or a precast concrete stub — done one post at a time with the wall temporarily carried. Catch it early and the building is fine; ignore it and the repair becomes a rebuild.
What your project actually costs can only be settled by a registered builder who sees the site. Footprint, sidewall height, doors, finish level and ground conditions all move it.
A builder who works Edinboro Borough and Washington Township regularly will already know how this ground behaves.
