    Concrete garage floor breaking up
    My concrete garage floor is at least 40 years old. The garage is unheated, cinderblock construction. The concrete floor is worn down and breakup up on the outside 2 foot perimeter of the floor. The entire floor is 13'9" x 22'10". What would be the best method to repair this floor to make it one strong, durable, no cracked, level surface

    Power wash and clean the entire garage surface, spread a liquid binder on the existing surface (this will bind the old concrete to the new) then you can trowel down concrete resurfacing cement.

    Resurfacing concrete mix can be spread from a skim coat up to a 1/4" thick if I remember correctly.

    I don't know where you live but if your in a snowy area avoid getting rock salt on any part of the concrete.
