Serious question, is it better to rent a floor sander or just pay a pro after my disaster in Phoenix?
I tried to refinish my oak floors myself last spring and the rental sander left deep gouges I'm still fixing. My neighbor says pros have better tools, but I hate giving up on a project.

You said you hate giving up on a project, but sometimes quitting is the smart move. Those rental sanders are brutal and it's so easy to mess up expensive floors. A pro with the right gear can fix your gouges and get it done in a day, not a year. You already learned it's harder than it looks, so save yourself the headache and just call someone.

@gibson.morgan makes a good point about the rental sanders. How bad are the gouges you've already put in the floor?

The rental guy said it was a beginner model... I've got one spot that looks like a small animal tried to dig its way out.
