Default How do I remove this shelf in my closet??

Thanks a bunch everyone for the info. I got the shelves removed now I
am trying to figure out whether or not to take the support piece down
or leave it up. How would I go about taking that piece down if I
decided to do that? Thanks

Hi,
If you want to remove them, carefully look how they are held on the
wall. By nails or screws. Anyhow if removed, it'll show bare drywall
and marks. How about leaving them on and install a coat hook or
something to hang small items.

It may be up with nails or screws. If up with screws, they may have been
countersunk and covered. If they did a good job, you can't see them :-(
Worst case is they are nailed/screwed and glued. Not usually the case.

Well the support strips were up with nails. All we did was take a pry
bar and go from the top and pry them down. Some were slightly damaged
but most were in good shape after getting them down. It didn't leave
the wall too awful either. They at least textured the wall underneath
but it just needs paint and should look good. Thanks everyone. It was a
success.

Well, I think you're now qualified to go into business as a handyperson.
You can advertise as a woman-owned-and-operated business.
