        "text": "To resolve gaps between upper cabinets and an out-of-level ceiling, contractors use a two-piece molding setup or custom-scribe a flat riser board. Ceilings are rarely completely level, particularly in older properties. Installing a two-piece crown allows the base riser to absorb height variations while the decorative top piece remains visually straight. Alternatively, an open gap can be maintained with a clean cabinet-top trim if ceilings slope too steeply for full closure. Addressing these variances during finish carpentry prevents awkward shadows and keeps the upper cabinets looking level and structurally anchored.",
