I just had a new deck built, only to discover that one section of it isn't
level. It's out by 1/2 inch over a four foot run.

Is this acceptable and within reasonable tolerances? Or should I withold
some of the payment to the builder? If the latter, how much should I
penalize him (as a percentage of the total)?

TIA

So the rest of the deck is level, But one section is not. If the contractor
was going for lvel he has a small problem if he is going for a slope he has
a big problem. Slope is better for water, water sitting on the deck is not
good it will shorten the woods life ( if you used wood)
