Tar is modified resin produced primarily from the wood and roots of pine by destructive distillation under pyrolysis. It is a viscous black liquid. Production and trade in tar was a major contributor in the economies of Northern Europe and Colonial America. Its main use was in preserving and protecting wooden vessels against rot. The largest user was the Royal Navy. Demand for tar declined with the advent of iron and steel ships. Tar-like products can also be produced from other forms of organic matter such as peat. Mineral products resembling tar can be produced from fossil hydrocarbons including petroleum. Coal tar tar is produced from coal as a byproduct of coke production. From Wikipedia under the

Its siding is tar paper that is badly peeling off. Is there some way to remedy this? Do I have to peel off all the rest and totally redo it or can I patch up the bare spots? And how hard is this to do? Would I need a contractor or siding specialist? By the way, it is just the siding. The roof is fine. But it looks horrible. Thanks for any advice or help.
