Yes. That is what the person I hired should have done.

Nope. The rods are uneven. But your post isn't logical anyway. One, I live in an apt. Two, if my place was unlevel, the rods can still be placed level to each other.

Waiting for your insult incoming.

A lot of offended contractors on here making excuses...the rods need to be level with EACH OTHER...this is not impossible, even if the house is on uneven foundation, the ceiling is curved, or whatever any other scenario you come up with.

Not a good advice.
People can tell when things don’t look right.

Waiting a week is bad advice? Get that huge stick out of your ass, lady!

This is OP. I agree you advice is bad. The same eyes I will have a week from now are the same eyes I have now. So go ahead, insult me now too man.

What was the point of asking this question OP? Just call the guy and have him redo it or do it yourself, it’s not hard.

So many issues with contractors over last 2 years. It is pain to go and remedy. The radon guy pretended to be too busy to redo the system. Fence door broke within six months. Window guy was total incompetent so I finished the wall myself. Tree guys didn't want to bother with a quote for something less than 3k. Generally, post-pandemic, it is getting worse. Better to do stuff yourself as long as you can. I try to avoid them like the plague. If possible fix the rod yourself. Feeling of satisfaction will be worth it.

What a stupid question. Why ask if you just want people to validate what you are already going to do. You’re not going to offend the guy, OP. You paid for a service, you didn’t get what you paid for, make him fix it. I don’t know why people are so hesitant to make people fix things. You’re worried you’re going to be labeled a “Karen” and honestly, OP, who cares??? I think it’s stupid to label someone who just wants the job done correctly as being difficult. And I think it’s even stupider that someone is worried about being labeled for that. Again, who cares? Make him fix it.

So all of us in the world(the OP, the contractors, just all people really) are just so "stupid" and you have to suffer and tolerate it. How awful for you.

This, and what a PP has said, about using a level.
