        "text": "Yes, crown molding can be installed against uneven ceilings by using a scribed filler board or a two-piece stacked molding system. Ceilings are rarely completely level, particularly in older homes. Instead of forcing rigid molding tight against an uneven ceiling—which causes crooked lines and twisted joints—carpenters install a flat backer or frieze board first. They scribe and cut this board to mirror the ceiling’s contours, then nail the crown profile evenly across the front, creating a crisp, level visual baseline.",
