I live in a high ceiling brownstone and I had a handyman install a closet rod across the wall of my bedroom for my wardrobe to hang from. It lasted about a week and then fell out of the wall under the weight of my clothes. He came back yesterday morning to fix it, which he did, and told me to wait 2 hours before I rehung anything. I waited 12 hours. It happened again, only now all of the middle brackets hung on the dry wall (not on studs) are coming out of the wall.

I’m looking for someone who can reinforce the existing closet rod so that it works or advise me on how to install a new one and then do that installation. The room is about 14 feet long and I am in Fort Greene.
