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.
Two properties on the same road in Venango Township can need completely different site work.
