Default Deck......How Level is Level?

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.
TIA


this can probably be adjusted where the band is fastened to the post,
maybe even adjust the band at two posts...

but like someone else said, a contractor is allowed to correct his
mistakes in the eyes of the law, not to mention, if you had to put a
level on it to determine this mistake...then just enjoy the deck...

im sure you will not be suprised by this, but it is very common for a
house to be out of level
i've seen as much as 1" in a 50' span...no that doesn't sound like a
lot for a house, but during construction that one inch will keep
showing up until something is cheated back.
