You can do it yourself but it is time comsuming and you will have to rent most of the tools....... generally you remove everything from the room then tape off the openings to any other room, this way all of the dust from the sanding stays in the room you're working on. As long as the floors are in good shape it isn't that hard for a beginner..... but if they need to be bleached (because of stains) or repaired (rotted or damaged) it can be hard to match the look....... type of wood, or the way it was originally laid out. Especially if the house is really old. Mine turned out really nice, but the floors were in great shape and I had no time limits.
