Upfront cost
Wood — especially pressure-treated pine — is typically cheaper to install than vinyl. Cedar narrows the gap.
Lifetime cost
Wood needs periodic sealing, board replacement, and eventually full replacement as Florida humidity and termites take their toll. Vinyl is effectively maintenance-free for decades.
How to decide
Choose wood for warmth and lower upfront cost if you don't mind upkeep; choose vinyl to install once and forget it. We install both, sealed and built for our wind loads.
