I think we might tear it up and install radiant heat. It has some pretty substantial cracks running in 4 directions. Will decide what to do with the surface after that.

depending on cost you may want to just put a concrete overlay and polish it. I had pretty bad cracks in my concrete as well and didnt feel like tearing it up so i did that in my garage and I was pleased with the result. cost me about 1/3-1/4 the price of tearing it all up and doing it from scratch.

Dave - looks like you have a nice space with a LOT Of potential. If you would like, I can show you what I did with my garage -
1. Cracks fixed and 'Ucoat IT " epoxy on concrete surface
2. small gas forced air heater with thermostat installed
3. 'boxed -in" ugly pipes and support posts
4. Matching blue 'yoga mats' installed on certain surfaces for door and ding protection
5. 3rd bay added
6. extra electrical outlets
7.hot and cold water and tub
8.floor-to-ceiling cabinets to hid a lot of 'stuff'

pop me an email if you would like to see...

Thanks guys, its actually a warehouse in the city thats about 5 minutes from my place. Bought it from the bank about a year ago and redid the floors, sandblasted, painted, etc, etc. The signs are all original porcelain signs from the 1920s-50s. Eventually i'll get around to adding a poker table and a bar!:biggrin

Very nice, I was debating polishing for my garage floor. Was there a lot of dust from the polishing? The garage is attached to my house and I am a little worried about the amount of concrete dust that might be created.

Also once it was polished what was put on the surface? Is it durable so far?

Again, that looks great!!

It's actually a concrete overlay that covered the existing (prepped) concrete surface, it was then stained the brown color, polished and then had a clearcoat put on top. so far its been very durable but its only been a year. No issues with water, heat, stains. On the dust, when they treated the original flooring there was some dust but it wasnt terrible and pretty localized. NOTHING compared to what sandblasting does...

And it always looks that clean. Not really the place to do an oil change.

You and me both. I always enjoy looking at some of the garages you high rollers have but just accept the fact that my garage is a place to stores snowmobiles, lifts, snow plows, log splitters, router tables, air compressors, several bicycles & chain saws, and generally all things associated with either playing or working on things. I am jealous!
