I would be concerned with the 20'-5 1/2" depth on the garage, especially since you said you drive a truck. I would also look at 10' wide doors.

I had quotes from two different door companies when I built my house. One was $720 and the other was $800 uncharge over standard tracks and operators. This was for an 18' wide door and a 10' wide door with around 16" of additional lift. The company I hired tried to come back later and say that...

I would make the contractor pay for an acceptable coating. It is not a structural issue at all but as others have said, it is poor workmanship and borderline incompetence as dealing with bleed water is concrete finishing 101. The surface will continue to get worse and flake away. As others...
