And if you can do this...is it pretty easy or should I just call someone?

Yes you could definitely do that with concrete leveler. You would build it up in layers feathering it into the existing floor and adding slope that way. But it's really tricky. Leveler, counter to its name, doesn't automatically fill in the lowest spots. You can maneuver it into place and add to one side and slope to the other. But it's not really something you want to try without experience. I would imagine an epoxy flooring company would do it. They add a layer of leveler or embosser to make a perfect substrate anyway.
