Warrior Roofing Manufacturing

What Warrior Roofing Manufacturing does

Warrior Roofing Manufacturing, Inc. is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of roofing underlayment products, established in 1978 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and now operating from a second manufacturing facility in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The company produces two principal product families: asphalt saturated roofing felts — including #15W, #15 ASTM, #30W, #30 ASTM, plain and non-rated grades, building paper, and 18-inch split variants — and synthetic underlayments marketed under the Elephant Skin (premium tier with a 20-year limited warranty, 90-day UV tolerance, and proprietary skid-resistant walking surface meeting or exceeding ASTM D8257) and Shield Right (economy tier positioned for cooler working surfaces and improved traction) brands, plus a Warrior Wrap breathable house wrap line. Manufacturing technology centers on asphalt saturation and proprietary synthetic formulations engineered for traction, tear resistance, and UV exposure tolerance rather than any AI- or software-driven differentiators.

The company sells exclusively on a B2B basis to professional roofing contractors and residential and commercial home builders across the eastern United States, with distribution handled directly from its two manufacturing and shipping sites to enable short lead times. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact the corporate office for quotes. Marketing is primarily conducted through the company website, which hosts product literature, safety data sheets, technical specifications, independent lab test results, and an extensive library of synthetic underlayment comparison videos. The company is family-business-oriented with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent-company ownership, and its management roster in the source data is limited to its three founders. Notable credentials include supplying the entire felt needs for the Pentagon rebuilding effort after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
