Both homes types meet wind/storm building codes if new or built within the last 12 years or so (first code was in 1992, second code upgrade in 2002). Location & floor plan are more important, we think. Vinyl homes are recommended to be power washed every 6-12 months (about $50.00 per wash). Block needs painting about every 5 years. I think the block looks more tropical/floridian, but both are nice.
