CBS (concrete,block,stucco) vs Frame
My sister purchased a new Gardenia in Aug 2009. She had a 1 yr home inspection done by a former Villages employee. There were some minor problems that the Villages will take care of. But he made a comment that CBS homes had more maintenance issues. (Exterior paint every 5 yrs, Stucco cracking and settling problems) He commented that Frame houses only required pressure washing 1-2 times/yr. We are looking to purchase and have only been looking at CBS. We thought CBS would be better because of Hurricanes and termites ( I know they can still get to interior studs & door frames). Frame houses have alot more wood and I have noticed some of the vinyl siding has faded. Any Comments on which is better !
