"When I first contacted the company they did not return my call.   I got several estimates from other companies and then decided to try Summit again.   This time the owner (Gino) returned my call and explained that he had gotten my first message but his phone had broken and he had lost my number.   He promptly came out out to the house and gave me a very reasonable estimate for the work.  He sent a contract which I signed and returned, and which also indicated the work would begin within 1 -2 weeks of the signing date (8/12/13).   Two weeks later he indicated he would begin the work that week but never showed up because it rained.  He said he would return Tuesday of the following week.   He did not show up but sent an email that Thursday saying he had other emergency work that needed to be done and that he would start the next week.  He did not show up the following week at all and did not respond to my emails and calls.  He finally emailed on 9/19/13 apologizing for lack of response due to losing his Ipad.   He explained that he had again run into emergency water damage/insurance issues and was short on manpower, but would begin the next week.  Once again he did not show up that week and emailed me on 9/27/13 saying he would start the following week.   He and several workers finally showed up the first week of October (six weeks after I had returned the signed contract).   They worked for a day or two and then did not return for another week.   The rest of the work was completed over the next two weeks by a single worker (not Gino) who was VERY professional and VERY skilled.  
Ultimately, I was very pleased with the work that was done and I was quite satisfied with the price.  It was, however, a very frustrating experience in terms of not knowing when they would show up or when the work would be completed.  I definitely felt like he was "fitting me in" and that the job was not a priority for him.   I understand that emergencies can come up, that weather can make it difficult to work, and that there can be staffing issues.   I just wish Gino had been more responsive and kept me in the loop.  Not knowing what was happening was the hardest part.
So, I would definitely recommend Summit Peak for price and quality of work, but I would be hesitant to hire them again because of the responsiveness issues.

Siding questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of vertical siding depends on the type of material used and whether it’s properly maintained. For instance, vinyl siding can last between 20 and 30 years, while fiber cement siding can last up to 50 years. Remember that the type you choose will depend on how much maintenance it will require to prolong its longevity. 

The cost of wood siding varies by the type of wood. Engineered wood siding tends to be in the middle of typical costs ($3 to $7 per square foot for materials). Hardwoods, for instance, can cost $5 to $20 per square foot for materials alone, but cedar wood can be as cheap as $3 per square foot.

There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all  gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.

You should use a siding nail gun for siding installation, but if you don’t have one you can use a framing nailer instead, if the nails are long enough to firmly attach to the clapboard siding. However, framing requires longer nails that join lumber together. In that instance, siding nails will not be enough.

Although horizontal siding is found on more homes and deemed more popular, vertical siding is gaining popularity and becoming more trendy. Its ability to make homes appear taller and modern design is making it a favorite among homeowners. Plus, the vast style options available make it suitable for various architecture types.
