I’ve had both. Honestly, don’t think you can go wrong with either. The newer vinyl is much improved and you should never have to paint. Also with vinyl you actually get a bit more total square feet. One neighbor I talked with (retired building contractor) preferred the vinyl and said the roofs of both were equal and during high winds (hurricanes) the roof would be first of the house to be damaged and go. He and I both had a hip roof. On the other hand, the block and stucco some like it for its curb appeal. Although I have bought and sold a number of houses, I don’t pretend to know “construction” practices and rely on others expertise who build for a living. From what I’ve been told, the houses here in The Villages are built to code and well built from a construction point of view. Again, my experence you can’t go wrong with a block/stucco or a viny sided house here in The VILLAGES. It’s personal choice.
