        "text": "Yes, trim can be successfully installed over uneven drywall, but it requires careful preparation and finish techniques. Older homes or settling walls frequently develop waves, bowed studs, or out-of-square corners. Skilled finish carpenters manage this by floating the drywall with joint compound beforehand, shimming behind the trim, or using scribing techniques to match the wood directly to the wall contour. Flexible acrylic caulk then bridges minor gaps before painting. Having a contractor like HH Remodeling who handles both drywall repair and finish carpentry ensures uneven framing is corrected before trim is nailed in place.",
