there are suitable final floor elevation materials to accomplish what you want - polymer-modified concretes in a bag - they're 'just add water', too. recommend finding someone who's a decorative concrete overlay specialist. he'll have the skills, knowledge, materials, & tools to do it right. if you want, send me a note,,, you can, of course, do whatever you want - even call painters who say 'we can do it !" you can even consult w/those who think they know - after all, its only your home

concretenetwork.com would be a good place to start looking for help

imo, most general concrete people don't have either the desire, education, expertise, or patience to properly install floor levelers + its a different trade than normal concrete,,, generally floor levelers are gypsum based & not suitable for a final floor finish,,, what i rec'd is cement-based & is suitable for a final finish both in adhesion & abrasion,,, even 1 of the replies states 'float concrete' which illustrates lack of knowledge re this work

we've closing in may on our home & i'll have to do the same thing - our 'lanai' (screened-in porch) also has a sloping floor & is enclosed. at least the present owners didn't have some hack try to do what you want done,,, they would've done it wrong making it more difficult to prep & do it right,,, having done this work for 30+ years,i'm not concerned.

isn't it annoying when your adult beverage leans to 1 side in your glass ? ? ? i need to bow to other's knowledge re codes, etc, but 'tearing out the existing concrete' ??? not in my lifetime - not when the materials i suggested are fl dot approved for bridge overlays, etc. that doesn't mean a contractor would be familiar enough OR willing to bypass an 'inspector' & speak to the engineer in charge of the department for material acceptance - tearing out conc's ridiculous imho & certainly not a necessary expense,,, bobcats running around your home when a knowledgeable guy can bring in a 1/2" drill & 5gal bucket ? 7" conc grinder & vac ? here's where knowledge often trumps bldg codes

[if using the word 'trump' upsets some, tough ;-) ]
