Yes — in most cases, Saint Louis Closet Co. removes existing shelving as the first step of installation. Installers take down the old shelving, spackle any wall holes, and haul everything away.

Just let us know if you would like to keep any of the removed materials.

Saint Louis Closet Co. does not offer painting services, though installers will spackle any holes left after removing existing shelving. Some touch-up painting after installation may be needed depending on what was previously in the closet. For those who want to paint first, the pre-tearout option allows shelving to be removed a few days before the installation date.

Saint Louis Closet Co. units do not include backing as a standard feature — in most installations, the existing walls serve as the back of the unit. However, backing can be ordered separately if desired.
