The unsightly black and gray discoloration on these eaves is mildew. Most types of mildew can be removed from a painted surface by simple cleaning. Once the surface is clean, there is often no need to repaint, just a yearly mildew wash can keep eaves and other painted surfaces looking fresh. Mildew most often grows on the home’s north side and in shady/damp areas.
