The concrete stoop leading from the kitchen is pulling away from the house and the rain/snow is entering into the foundation of the house and needs to be fixed. Any recommendations on who can help fix this at a low cost or what can be done if we wanted to do it ourselves?

This is more than most "handyman" can be trusted with.
Certainly not without YOU knowing them and their competence level in advance.

You need an actual contractor who has the staff and/or subs with the different skills needed.
General labor, carpenters, block masons, concrete finishers, etc.

As to any specific recommendations... you need to ask that LOCALLY.
Start with your neighbors.

Forget that.

Maybe if you KNEW what needed to be done and had experience and the time...
but you'll still (almost always) be better off to hire it out.

The thing to look into first is what PERMITS and INSPECTIONS will be required.
