We have a vinyl home and have yet to see mold and mildew forming on it. We have no idea when it was last cleaned but suspect it was quite some time ago, given the situation of the sellers. (We bought a little over a year ago.) However, we understand that CBS homes need to be cleaned as often as vinyl, generally speaking. I would agree that CBS homes would likely fare better in a tornado than vinyl, though obviously it hasn't stopped countless people from buying vinyl. And yes, there are various services that handle termite control and do annual inspections. We have three solar tubes, their light is marvelous, and we've never had a leak. We swear by The Solar Guys who also installed a solar attic fan for us. Hope this helps.
