Why this comes up in Lake City
Here's what makes Lake City particular: flat lake-plain ground with slow-draining soils, close enough to the lake to take the full weight of a lake-effect winter.
A compact borough of modest single-family homes on regular lots, ringed immediately by township farm ground.
Getting it built in Lake City
Borough lots are regular and reachable, though smaller than the surrounding township parcels and with correspondingly less room to stage.

The usual approach
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.
Nobody can price yours from a description alone, including us.
Wondering what it'd take?
Tell us roughly what you want built and we'll hand it to registered post-frame builders who work your township. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
