Josh Jablon’s Summary

University Painters Founder Josh D. Jablon

Jablon was in college in 1986 when he started house painting as a summer job in the Philadelphia, PA area. During this time he worked as a student owner of a franchised house painting business while attending college.

Upon graduating from college, Jablon established the University Painters trade name and trademark and began franchising painting businesses under this name.

In about 1999, University Painters adopted a new business approach, using permanent full time non-student business owners who licensed the University Painters trade name and trademark. At the same time, many University Painters owners started replacing their seasonal student painters with professional painting crews. At present, the University Painters owners continue to use this career professional painting crew system which aids the year round operation of their businesses.

Jablon attended George Washington University and Graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA with a degree in Finance.

Josh is married to Ann Jablon and has 4 children.
