Spent the weekend wire brushing some rust on my floorboards and discovered that they're pretty rotted. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop in the area that would tackle this?

No recs but do you have photos of the damage? Most of the guys here are DIY'ers.
Carolina Offroad Outfitters can assist.

i'll work on clearing it out more this weekend to get better pictures. it's a little nerve wracking because I think i'll make the hole worse (right now it's just a pin hole). i think ultimately it just needs some light patching. it seems to be rotted just around the foot rest area. the windshield had been leaking for who knows how long.
it's a whole story but the tldr is that my last experience with them was real bad. i was originally going to use them for it.
What vehicle is this on?
Sweet looking truck. I was just kind of curious, rust is rust.

Had these guys repaint my GX roof and hood (thanks Lexus! not), the owner was restoring his personal 40. Might be worth a call or visit, they did a fantastic job on mine: Collision Correction & Customs | Auto Body Repair | Fuquay Varina

thanks for the heads up! they're located right next to where my parents restaurant used to be.
was actually going have Tilley Auto (also in Fuquay) look at it, as well. They did a great job on my Cherokee I had.
I've never used these guys but have heard good things from those that have. Their specialty is 4Runner's but they quoted me on some rust repair for a 80 I was looking at so I know they do other Toyotas. Not sure if they can tackle a scope that big or not; worth a call though...

stopped by here yesterday... he didn't seem too interested unless it was insurance.

That stinks, sorry to send you astray. And I was going to go back and get an estimate on repairing more of my flaking and cracking Lexus Blizzard White Pearl...

no worries! i was in the area so it was no sweat off my back. he said he only takes in one project car at a time and to just check back in 6 months to a year. I reached out to TEQ Restorations and waiting to hear back.
thank you for all the leads!
