IMO, unless you have enough experience, you'll be better off paying someone
*experienced* to finish your garage/shop floor.
I built a garage a few years ago. A friend of a friend was trying to start a
new concrete (walls & floors) business. So, I agreed to give him the job.
The floor did not come out as nice as I would have liked. There were dips &
ridges - small but frustrating when I was on a creeper for example. I know I
could not have done better - but I'd never dome that sort of job before. I
always wished I had hired an experienced firm.
BTW, I think 'broom-finished' and 'ultra smooth' are two distinctly
different floors.
