Meet Amanda Wilhelm
Amanda Wilhelm joined the University Painter’s team in the summer of 2001. Amanda attended Towson University (Graduation class of 2003) and began running the painting business in the summers of college in Annapolis, MD. She was Rookie of the Year in 2001. After graduating college, Amanda recruited, trained and managed college students in the Mid-Atlantic Region while also operating a business in the Philadelphia, PA area.
In 2008, Amanda once again returned to the Annapolis, Maryland and DC area and began rebuilding the University Painters business in this area. Amanda has earned several Sales and Customer Service awards during her tenure with University Painters. Being a resident of the DMV area for over 20 years has given her the experience to understand the customers, homes and quality of work that is expected in the DC/MD/VA area.
Amanda and her husband Tony reside in the Charlottesville area with their four children, Sofia (14), Leo (12) and Sonny (10), and Luca (6). She enjoys being a mom, traveling, and being outside in all things nature.

Meet William Howland
Hello, I am William Howland, and I will be providing you with your estimate. I have been involved in the painting industry for over 20 years, and with University Painters since 1998. I spent my early summers in high school painting for University Painters, which eventually evolved into managing the painting crews. I have experience with handling everything from the actual painting work to managing all of the pieces that make a painting business come to life. I operate in the Washington, DC, and surrounding Metropolitan areas like Bethesda and Silver Spring. In 2023, I was part of a $1M painting operation working directly with Amanda Wilhelm in Washington, DC.
My family and I reside in the Washington, DC area and I enjoy being a father to a busy 5- and 7-year-old. I also like creating art and playing music in my spare time.
My goal is to provide you with the most professional painting experience possible. This will be done with a thorough walk through, not only to determine your painting needs, but to also provide you with a competitive estimate that works within your budget.
Thank you for giving University Painters an opportunity to bid on this project. We hope to earn your business, and strive to become your painter for life!
