Lost cause? Hire a professional or possible DIY?

I just closed on my first home at the beginning of July. The main part of the house is covered in LVP, and the bedrooms were carpet. Ripping out the carpets was one of my first tasks. Since the seller did such a poor job of carpet installation, the carpet and padding came up easily. I still have to take out nails and the carpet gripper strips.

The seller was completely insane and allowed the painters to paint directly on the floors! I am wondering if refinishing would be best done by a professional? Or is it possible for me to DIY it? I am very dismayed at the careless destruction of these floors!
