How much would it run me to rent a sander and redo my hardfloor myself?

Question

What else is involved, and roughly, how much would it total up to?

Answer 1

To compare..........we had our hardwood floor professionally refinished.  For a room about 15 x 20 it was around $800.  I would imagine the hardest part would be the sanding.  If you didn't know what you were doing, you could sand too much in one area and not enough in another.  That's just a guess.  Plus the professional filled in all gaps and holes with filler and refinished the floor to new condition even after 50+ years of nothing being done to it.  It's your call as to whether you think you are up to the task.

Answer 2

I rented one from Home Depot a month ago and sanded a 400 sq ft deck.It cost me $53.00 for a sander overnight and $6.00 for each disk. It only took three disks .They said I would need six.I returned the other three for a refund.
