A village built among the groves

Palatine's first settlers made their homes in the area's groves of trees, which is how places like Deer Grove and Plum Grove got their names. The trees are still a big part of the village today, and so is the shade they cast on roofs and walls.

The homes are just as varied. There are older houses close to the historic downtown, neighborhoods like Plum Grove Estates that were built in phases from the late 1950s on, and plenty of newer single-family homes and townhome communities. On a single street you can find several siding types, and each one needs its own cleaning method.

What we see on Palatine homes

• Moss and black streaks on roofs near large trees and the forest preserve, especially on north-facing slopes.
• Mildew on shaded siding and under deep eaves.
• Townhome rows where one side barely gets sun, so the growth is heavier there than on the front.

If your roof has dark stripes, here's what those black streaks are and why they keep spreading.
