Timing a New-Build Floor
Windmore is one of Princeton's newer neighborhoods, and most questions from owners here are about timing. When can a new slab be coated? Can it happen before closing? How long before the cars can go back in?
The answers start with the concrete. Fresh concrete releases water for weeks after it is poured. Coat too early and that moisture can push the coating off the slab.

Local notes
The 28-Day Rule and the Moisture Test
Coating manufacturers such as Sherwin-Williams recommend at least 28 days of curing before an epoxy floor goes on new concrete. That is a minimum, not a guarantee, so a moisture test on the slab confirms it is dry enough.
Ask your builder for the pour date. If it was poured early in construction, the slab may be well past 28 days by closing.
Fitting the Floor Around Moving In
The easiest schedule is to coat the garage after closing and before the moving truck. The work usually takes one to two days, and you can carry boxes through the house while the garage cures.
If move-in comes first, stage boxes in a spare room for a few days rather than in the garage. Coating an empty garage is faster and cleaner.
A Simple Windmore Timeline
Ask the builder for the pour date, request the estimate, confirm the moisture test, coat after closing, then move in. Keep the product names and care sheet with your closing documents.
If closing slips, nothing is lost: the slab only gets drier while you wait. What matters is that the floor goes down before cars, shelving and storage arrive, because moving them out again is the slowest part of coating a lived-in garage.
