        "text": "Crown molding should go directly to the ceiling when the gap between the upper cabinets and ceiling is under twelve inches. Running the trim all the way up creates a seamless, built-in appearance and eliminates hard-to-clean dust traps above the cabinetry. However, a practical tradeoff involves ceiling levelness. In older or settling homes, ceilings are rarely perfectly flat. If the gap varies across the kitchen run, a carpenter must use an adjustable backer board or two-piece trim system to conceal the slope rather than attempting to force a single piece of crown molding against an uneven ceiling.",
