Should I add retarding agents to the concrete mix?

Can I have burnished concrete flooring in a family home?

The quality of a burnished floor comes down to the quality of the concrete contractor.

It is not easy and any imperfection, gouge or non-level area or dip will be very visible in the final concrete floor.
