Sounds like quite a crew.  When I ran my business, we kept the worksite spotless and cleaned up when we were done.
Definitely withold payment until the job has been completed to your satisfaction. Speak to the top guy directly, whoever he is and politely and calmly outline your concerns. See if he will address them personally and ensure satisfaction. Take some digital pictures of work in progress.
It's always better to try and work things out before they get nasty. Not sure about the US, but contractors can file a lien against the home if they aren't paid. You don't need that hassle over a siding install.
