        "text": "In older homes across the Denver metro area, including communities like Arvada, Englewood, and Littleton, kitchens often have uneven framing, settling, or original plaster walls. Hanging new drywall on out-of-plumb studs will cause noticeable alignment issues when installing modern, rigid kitchen cabinets and stone countertops. Contractors working in these homes must frequently sister new studs, shim low spots, or plane high spots before hanging drywall to ensure flat, square surfaces. Additionally, local Denver climate conditions with low indoor winter humidity require proper joint compound drying management to prevent seam cracking.",
