Hello,
about 4 years ago, the eaves (rafters and boards) of the newly built semi-detached house were painted with the white satin finish Venti paint from Südwest. For about 1 year now, black spots have appeared on the white paint - see attached pictures.
Questions:
1.) Was the wrong white paint used, not weather-resistant, etc.?
2.) What could the black spots be – weathering, algae, etc.?
3.) What is the recommended approach to fix this? Sanding and repainting?
Regards,
Michael

I would take action there, as the wood is exposed and unprotected in some spots.

Did you take the photos at my place?
It looks the same for me. As long as it doesn’t cause real damage, I’m not doing anything for now.

I’m not going to take action for now either; it’s just an eyesore.
What annoys me is that my house is the only one on the street that looks like this. The other houses still look freshly painted white after five years. But as often happens, once you don’t closely supervise the contractor, you end up paying the price. The problem with fixing it is that a scaffold has to be set up because the ridge is 9 meters (30 feet) high, and there is also an additional light well on the side. So it’s work that wouldn’t be necessary otherwise. To make matters worse, the dormer is also affected.
