If your asking if you could do your own by buying your own equipment I would say sure. Just make sure you follow the specs for the head's manufacture rather than advise from every Tom, Dick or Harry. I was taught to grind valves in the late 1950's. Over the years I bought the tools and equipment. Guides are cheap and easy to replace. The condition of the head when starting is a key factor. If the seats are pitted or burned bad it my need to be cut and new seats pressed in. Another option in that case is to go to larger valves. I do both. It just takes a little research to find parts.
The first picture is a head that was in fair condition and grinding usable valves. The second picture I milled .1500 off and installed oversized valves. It is also ported with some polishing.
