We live in a new build home. My husband hung some Ikea shoe bins on the wall and mounted them in to the studs. I am going to paint the hallway and would like to remove the bins and hooks, patch the holes and have an even coat of paint from floor to ceiling.
It is also worth nothing that I would like different bins and we won't need the hooks as we will soon be utilizing a closet for this purpose.
He instructed me to not remove the bins because doing so would damage the integrity of the studs and they wouldn't be as sturdy if we put the bins back on the wall in the same place. The same goes for the hooks.
Is this true? Should I fill the holes with anything in particular to reinforce the stud, assuming I find different shoe bins and the mounting points won't be the same.
I cannot seem to find anything to substantiate this claim of holes compromising the studs online. It just seems highly unlikely to me, given they are very average screws, it wasn't like a gigantic bolt or anything.
Thank you!

As long as they are normal screws and you unscrew them they won't compromise the studs or their integrity. If you rip the screws out (with a hammer for example) that could compromise the studs.
If you plan on reusing the exact same holes there are things you can do to help future screws grip just as well by adding toothpicks to the holes, but otherwise you don't need to worry.

Thank you! Assuming I do not use the same holes, should I fill them with anything in particular before putting spackle over the hole?

I think your husband just wants the shoe bins to remain where they are and doesn't want to buy new ones.. LOL. Removing the screws will not damage the studs even if they were load bearing. Patch the holes with a vinyl spackle, sand lightly and you're good to go.
