Kitchen Cabinet Crown Molding Uneven Ceiling

Uneven ceilings can create issues in kitchens when it comes to crown or other mouldings that finish out the tops of cabinets.
However we hung the cabinets level across the entire kitchen and because our house is 25 or 30 years old and probably due to some shoddy workmanship we found that the ceiling was not in fact as level as our new cabinets. One practical and creative solution combining molding profiles to create a custom built up crown will minimize most gaps when installing crown molding on an uneven ceiling. If the ceiling above the cabinets is not flat and level crown moulding will touch the ceiling at one point and have significant gaps at others. Properly installed cabinets are flat and level.
Normally we set cabinets an inch plus below a ceiling line for this reason leaving a shadow. Unlike baseboard molding crown molding sits at an angle on the wall making cutting and nailing more difficult than the straightforward level baseboard. Does not fit under the standard. You can also raise the 30 unit to the same height as the 42 unit against the ceiling.
The older house had several waves in the ceiling but in one spot where an 18 pantry is placed the ceiling changes 3 4 from one side to the other. We started on one side of the kitchen at the appropriate hight to hang the crown moulding. Have you tried removing the crown molding.
