I'm acquiring a rental unit with an odd porch post repair, if i was to repair it to original condition what would be the cost? I do like the idea of replace all the post with white wood post or dress them in fypon for an updated look.

There is no rebar in those columns. Tear them down and use wood or some other column. Otherwise they will do it again. 

I might consider a screened in porch if it were mine.
