Replacing TPMS sensors

The TPMS sensor batteries in my Subaru forester 2019 needs to be replaced. Of course they made it so that you’ll have to change all four sensors instead of just the watch battery that it entails. It cost around $1000 to get it done at my dealership. I know you can get aftermarket TPS sensor installed and calibrated for Subaru Forrester. Is it possible to to procure the TPS sensor from the same OEM that Subaru uses and get it installed elsewhere?

Repair porch steps without going bankrupt

The previous house owners did a shitty job preparing the porch steps. After winter, the section of the porch (see pic) got disintegrated. Who should I call to fix this without wiping out my retirement? (Please don’t say ghostbusters).
Would it be a mason or a general contractor?
What would I need if I were to do it myself?
