[QUOTE=kkingston57;2158923]5 Years ago, block was 5K higher than frame in the mid priced homes. Defintely worth the extra money then. Block(CBS) is stronger and less likelihood of having termite problems and can be easily be re painted. Siding painting does require an additive to the paint and siding does fade. Pre cast is better than both(more uniform) and should be considered. Lived in Palm Beach County before moving to TV and best wind protected homes were pre cast. Pre cast can have a lifetime finish also. Need to ask if TV's pre cast walls are lifetime finished.
NOT TRUE about the termites !!!! They were in my home in Arizona that was block construction.........another home is FRAME no evidence on the frame home as of yet. Does NOT matter what style home you have for termites
