"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"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

Wood siding requires an air gap behind it to allow water to drain out, and for air circulation and venting to allow humid air to escape and keep the material from rotting due to moisture. 

You should restain or refinish your home's cedar siding every three to seven years to maintain its appearance and ensure maximum protection. The precise frequency depends on several factors, including your local climate, the siding's exposure to severe weather like direct sunlight, rain, and wind, the quality of the initial stain application, the type of stain used, and the condition of the wood.

Homeowners in harsh climates with high humidity and significant direct sunlight should plan on restaining every three years, while those in milder locations can wait up to seven years. For the longest-lasting protection in particularly harsh environments, consider using an opaque stain.

If you're looking for a lower-maintenance alternative, vinyl or aluminum siding are options to consider. Although their installation cost may be higher, they don't require as much upkeep over time, which can provide more value, especially in areas with excessive rainfall or high humidity.

Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it’s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.

OSB is a common material used in sheathing, so when OSB prices go up, so does the cost of sheathing. Depending on the economy and supply chain, increased costs can reduce demand, though some homeowners proceed with their projects despite the elevated expenses.

Fiber cement siding is one of the lowest-maintenance options. The material’s formula is resistant to insect activities, moisture, and most physical impacts. Vinyl and aluminium siding is also fairly easy to upkeep. All these low-maintenance options only require basic surface cleaning, caulking, and regular gutter maintenance to prevent water dams from forming.
