        "text": "Irregular walls are standard in residential homes, especially in older houses or basements where framing has settled. Professional carpenters handle uneven drywall by using scribing techniques to shave trim profiles to match wall contours, shimming low spots behind trim, and using coped joints rather than simple miter cuts on inside corners. For minor dips, caulking the gap between the trim and wall blends the seam. In severe cases, minor drywall repair or skim-coating is necessary before fastening trim.",
