        "text": "Kitchen molding should usually be installed after cabinet installation, drywall repair, and countertop placement are complete. Installing molding too early creates issues if cabinets settle or if wall repairs shift alignment. Once cabinets are plumb and fixed, finish carpenters install the crown, light rails, and scribe trim. Paint or stain finishing can happen before or after: pre-finishing trims saves detail work on ladders, but final caulking, filling nail holes, and touch-up painting must happen after installation to achieve a continuous, polished finish. For projects involving full room remodeling, molding goes in just prior to final touch-up paint.",
