Unless you are extraordinarily blessed, you probably are stronger as a writer in some areas than in others. A professional editor should not only point out your strengths and challenges, but also should help you triumph over your challenges by showing you how to expand your own strengths and talents into areas of the book that need them.
The answer is this: It is entirely up to you.
If you've taken your book as far as you can take it—and either you're stuck, or you just need a fresh pair of eyes--then you might consider finding an editor.
Taking your book as far as you can take it means different things to different authors.
It could mean you've written a first chapter and an outline and you want feedback before you go any further. Or it can mean you've written several drafts of an entire book or proposal. Only you can say if you've taken it as far as you can go for now.
