It's actually not as hard as it sounds, but it depends on what you want. Usually, all the floor needs is a new coat of urethane. Use an electric palm sander to very lightly sand the old floor. Vacuum and use a tack-cloth to get up all the dust. Then apply the new coat(s) of urethane using a cloth (not a brush). The hardest part is keeping the kids and dog off the floor until it dries!

But if the floor is in really bad shape or you want to change the color, then I'd hire a professional.
