Hard Wood Floors?

College Student Rental!!!!

 ok I have Hardwood Floors in 75 % of 1st  floor and 90% on second floor(rug glued down over it).. 1st floor hasn't been maintained at all but there's no buckles and it really just looks old and worn. 2nd floor -I ripped up a piece of carpet and it's all wood. Couple of questions: I realize if they put down carpet could be because the wood is in bad shape but if not I would prefer to have it all wood.( the carpet has to be replaced regardless ) It's 4 bedrooms. Approx 750 sq ft with hallway- down stairs is probably 750 as well -  would you go with resand/poly floors upstairs or rug?

And any clue as to what it would be to sand/poly both floors?

Some tell me 1.50-4.50sq ft

I've never done but would love to give it a go- rehabbed a couple of basements over the years so I am fairly handy. Could I do it myself?

Thanks

I will echo the sediments of @George Paiva.  1st of all if you are doing it yourself it will not come out as good as if you hire a professional.  Since both George and I are in CT we see the same prices as far as getting the floors redone and it is worth it in spades.

Having been there where we HAD to do them ourselves, it is a miserable experience and it will take you a ton of time.  Just one of those things that is better off letting someone else do.  Someone else who does it on a daily basis.
