Bricks on the porch steps are loose, missing or crumbling
Loose and missing bricks on porch steps are usually face damage, and face damage is a repair. A mason resets the bricks, replaces the broken ones and repoints the joints, and the steps stay where they are. Press and step on every tread before you price anything, because a tread that rocks or sinks means the concrete core underneath has failed. New brick laid over a failed core comes loose again within a season.
