Basic starter/ender home in Chicago suburb. Middle of the road burb with a wide range of property values. Need to replace my driveway and deciding on whether or not to replace the garage floor first. The garage floor is cracked in that typical an X pattern that happens with about 4" of displacement. It will be about 4K to fix it. Worth it?

Not either one. Not on Spec.
If/when an earnest buyer with cash makes one or the other project a condition of sale... ??
You still don't volunteer for the risk. Make a cash allowance for THEM to play contractor with.
4" displacement?
Like part of the slab is 4" above the adjacent slab surface?
Do the garage floor first.
So you don't have to run over your new driveway to do it later.
This was my line of thinking unless its not reasonable to do. The driveway HAS to be done. It's all but disintegrated at this point. There is a lot of damage to the garage floor and I haven't used it in a while so animals have gotten in there and made it worse. I hate throwing money away, but I think if I leave it for another 15 years before I sell it will be required to be replaced by the lender.

I would do both and enjoy the results for 15 years.
Probably get a better price doing them at the same time.
Actually, we did our driveway 12 years ago and did the garage 2 years ago.
I wish I had done the whole job at once.
Thanks! I'll definately ask about it. The floor is 50 years old with a large amount of displacement and separation. It may not be possible.
4" displacement?
Mudjacking will cost as much as a new floor, I betcha. And, you still won't have a new floor.
I actually got my garage floor replaced for about half the cost of mudjacking.

Should I replace garage floor?
