Do you need a new floor or do you just need to refinish your old floor? Get several opinions before you decide.  

Do it yourself
Before you install a new floor be sure to assesss the structural integrity of the subfloor. 
The underlayment layers are the key to a stable floor that will last.  Check the floor product manufacturer's recommendations for the subfloor to be sure it is compatible with your current subfloor.  If it is ok, then be sure to check that it is sufficiently fastened to the floor joists and feels solid.
