Project description
Looking for an experienced installer to fit impact-absorbing rubber flooring in a converted two-car garage that is becoming a home gym, and to securely anchor a wall-mounted power rack and pull-up bar. The room is roughly 20 by 22 feet, currently bare concrete with a couple of hairline cracks and some old paint overspray near one wall.
Flooring scope: supply and install 3/4-inch («heavy-duty» density) interlocking rubber tiles rated for dropped barbells, rated for at least 200 lb plate drops without denting through to the slab. Subfloor prep first — grind off the paint overspray, patch the hairline cracks with an epoxy filler, vacuum and degrease the whole slab, then check for flatness with a straightedge since low spots can cause tile rocking. Tiles should run wall to wall with expansion gap at the perimeter, seams tight and taped or chemically welded where the platform for a barbell area will see repeated impact, and a transition strip at the garage door threshold so the edge does not curl or trip anyone.
Anchor scope: one wall section (roughly 8 feet wide) needs plywood backing installed across the studs if not already doubled, then a wall-mounted folding power rack and a separate pull-up bar bolted through the studs with lag bolts or through-bolts rated for a dynamic load well above body weight plus swinging force — figure a minimum working load of 600 lb per anchor point with a safety margin, not just static rating. Stud locations must be verified (not just assumed from spacing), and any hollow or damaged stud reinforced with a sister stud before drilling. All hardware should be documented — bolt grade, length, torque — since this will be load-bearing equipment used daily.
Also wanted: a written care note for seam maintenance and a heads-up on any local permit requirement for wall-anchored fitness equipment, since I know some municipalities want an inspection for anything rated over a certain pull-out force. Please quote flooring and anchor work separately so I can compare against a possible DIY split, and include your estimate of how many days on site this realistically takes given drying/curing time for the epoxy filler and any adhesive under the tiles.
