I'm building a new house, and contractor just asked me with very short notice what coating I want for my garage, they are getting started tomorrow.
Garage was poured 4-5 months ago, so fairly cured, and in pretty good shape. I'm in Seattle, so all labor costs are fairly high here, and I can't easily get another bid. We were thinking a clear product for the garage. This garage will not be used much as a shop, I have a 900sq/ft woodworking shop next to it with a separate floor (dricore tiles with commercial carpet tiles, for comfort standing and less damage to dropped items).
Are the improved options worth it? Is anything a red flag here? Clearly, not a lot of details, and I do not know what these products are.
Option #1
Sanding/Cleaning of the garage concrete substrate with resin bond diamonds $2,830.00
The scope is approximately 540sf
Sanding/cleaning of the existing concrete substrate.
Minor patching as required.

The scope is approximately 540sf
Griding of the concrete substrate with metal bond diamonds (1 pass)
Minor patching as required.
Application of Tnemec 100% solids moisture tolerant epoxy primer in clear or a selected color.
