About USP
Surface Protection Is What We Do
USP – Upstate Surface Protection is a specialist surface protection company serving the Finger Lakes & Upstate New York. Protection is not a side service we add on to something else — it is the entire focus of the business.
Founder Athanasios Vamparis holds the credential of NanoXperts Certified Surface Protection Specialist.View the certificate and credential details. We work on both residential and commercial properties. Where a surface should not be sealed, or where repair needs to happen first, we say so.
You're Not Just Paying for a Sealer.
USP brings more than 15 years of experience in surface protection technology. That experience includes the development, manufacturing and real-world application of professional surface protection technologies used across multiple private-label and industry-label product lines.
Our experience goes far beyond simply applying a sealer or relying on the product knowledge and application training provided by a specific manufacturer. Our background comes from working directly with different surface protection technologies — understanding how they are developed, how they function and how they interact with different substrates.
This gives USP a broader, technology-driven perspective. We select the protection approach based on the surface and application — not simply on a particular brand or product line.
Surface Protection Is About More Than the Product.
The right protection system is chosen by understanding the surface, the environment and the use case — not by defaulting to a single product.
