        "text": "A countertop can be installed over a vanity that is slightly out of level only if the condition is corrected or properly accommodated; a visibly unstable or substantially uneven base should not be covered. Level support helps prevent gaps, stress, poor sink fit, and drainage problems.\n\n**Context:** Older homes and remodeled bathrooms can have uneven floors, walls, or cabinets. Shimming may solve a limited condition, while damaged framing, flooring, or cabinet panels may require more extensive correction.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Check level across the cabinet and front-to-back.\n- Inspect wall plumbness where the top will meet the backsplash.\n- Identify whether the floor or cabinet causes the unevenness.\n- Confirm the sink will sit correctly and drain properly.\n\n**Practical guidance:** Ask how leveling will be handled before the top is fabricated. Do not rely on thick caulk to hide a structural gap or unstable cabinet.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design can include existing-condition corrections in a coordinated bathroom scope.",
