They are ROCKTITE and QUIKCRETE hydraulic cement.

The cement steps leading up to the porch of my SFR need to be replaced. they have sunken into the ground and are starting to crumble.

I would really like to update my SFR and put in a new railing around the porch since the current enclosure is rusting out but the fencing is cemented into the porch. can I remove the railings without damaging the porch or do I need to replaced the entire porch to cement new railings?

Of course the cement is more durable and easy to mantenance, probably a little expensive than hardwood.

Esp since it also allows for a thinner slab hence less cement ??

Yesterday I found out that will cost me another $200 just to remove all the tiles and cement plus all the lost of material.

It has hardie board siding which is sort of a cement fiber mix, so it will be staying, just becoming a different color.The windows are in great shape, other than the rear slider which needs to go.I have several different thoughts as well, but curious to hear other input from more experience person than myself.

These homes are solid buildings mostly with full cement basements.

Instead of fixing them, he cut out the high spots in the foundation and pour new cement or grinding down the foundation.

I think your cement price at $4,000 for jacking up and out the old slab and putting in a new slab is a decent price.
