        "text": "Drywall ceilings in both historic and newer homes across the Denver metro area are rarely flat, often dipping or crowning across a wall span. To resolve this, a finish carpenter can install a two-piece or three-piece crown assembly using a flat riser board (backer board) attached to the cabinet tops. The riser board is scribed or adjusted to absorb ceiling variations, while the decorative crown molding is installed level along the top. This technique eliminates visible gaps between the trim and ceiling without pushing upper cabinets out of square.",
