The job
An empty closet had a damaged wall strip where an old shelf had been. The after photo shows the walls repaired and a new shelf with a hanging rod across the closet.
Typical steps for this job
The photos show the start and the finish; these are the usual steps in between:
- The old strip and loose pieces were removed.
- The damaged wall was patched.
- Supports were fixed along the walls.
- The shelf and the hanging rod were installed across the width of the closet.
A closet rod carries a lot of weight once clothes are on it, so the supports go into studs or into proper anchors. Patching the old damage first matters: brackets fixed into broken drywall pull out as soon as the rod is loaded.
