Hi,
If the brake pedal goes to the floor, first make sure there are no hydraulic leaks in the brake system. Make sure the brake fluid reservoir is full. If it is, chances are the brake master cylinder is bad.
Take a look through this link:

If you find the master cylinder is bad, replacing it isn't too hard of a job. When you get the replacement part, make sure it has a lifetime warranty. That way, you'll never have to pay for it again.
First, here is a link that shows how in general one is replaced. You can use this as a guide.

The new brake master cylinder will need bench bled before install. Here is a video that shows how that is done:
