Default Mudjacking vs. polyurethane to raise a garage floor

I need to raise a garage floor 4 inches. I’m currently leaning toward polyurethane. Anyone here have experience with these options who might give me pros and cons, and your personal experience? If you considered both methods, why did you choose the one you did?

I asked about this about previously a couple years ago as one of the corners in my garage is sinking and snow melt off the cars pools in that corner. I don't have anything to contribute as I don't remember what people were suggesting and I never got around to bringing any in to do the job.

If you get it done I'm looking forward to hearing about your experience.

I’m getting a contractor who does both in to look at the job and I’ll talk to a friend who has done mudjacking. If I do one I’ll report back.

I've been calling around for quotes on getting my 24'x16' detached garage lifted, anyone here have any contacts? Recommendations? Any companies to avoid?

Thanks!

You might need a ton of polyurethane to raise it 4" which could be expensive. Maybe self levelling concrete poured in layers until you get to approximately the right height and then a poly finish?

Mudjacking, for sure.
