Socket replacement / repair help needed

Here’s a shot of the socket: View on imgur
Look, we're talking about a pretty high-end motherboard here, so I don't really mind dropping $200-$100 on a repair service.

Does anyone know a shop around Washington, D.C. or the surrounding area that actually handles socket repairs or replacements?
It's an LGA 1151 socket on one of those high-end Apple's motherboards, and honestly, it's way more cost-effective to just swap out the socket itself rather than tossing the whole board in the trash.
The pins are a total mess—lots of bent ones and at least one is completely snapped off—so I'm thinking a full socket replacement is probably the only way to go here.
