Not really, companies and individuals are named on the forum all the time,

Not seen any individuals named. Any such references are promptly removed. Company names, on the other hand..

It happens all the time in PV&W (and on other boards), and they are not removed unless MSE thinks they may be in trouble for leaving it. I can't see any issue with naming the carpenter in this case, who hasn't yet been accused of anything other than not completing the job, which is a statement of fact rather than being defamatory.

What length of time are we talking about?

No one here can know for sure whether it's a fact or not. There may also be several carpenters who share the same name even in the same part of the country.

Therefore best practice is not to name any one person and stick only to company names.
