                 MASCO CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD SALES FOR 2005

                       MASCO CORPORATION 2005 HIGHLIGHTS:

     FULL-YEAR 2005

          -    Net sales from continuing operations increased seven percent to a
               record $12.6 billion.

          -    Income from continuing operations was $2.19 per common share
               excluding the impact of a goodwill impairment charge and $2.03
               per common share including the impairment charge.

          -    Free cash flow before dividends exceeded $1 billion.

          -    The Company returned $1.3 billion to shareholders through share
               repurchases (31 million shares) and dividends.

          -    The quarterly dividend was increased by 11 percent, the 47th
               consecutive year in which dividends have been increased.

          -    The Company had over $2 billion of cash and marketable securities
               at year-end.

     Taylor, Michigan (February 14, 2006) - Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS) today
reported that net sales from continuing operations for the year ended December
31, 2005 increased seven percent, primarily from organic growth, to a record
$12.6 billion compared with $11.9 billion for 2004.

     Income from continuing operations was $941 million or $2.19 per common
share, excluding the impact of the non-cash, after-tax goodwill impairment
charge of $69 million pertaining to certain European operations. Income from
continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $872 million or
$2.03 per common share, including the impact of the goodwill impairment charge.
Income from continuing operations was $1,053 million in 2004 or $2.31 per common
share, excluding the impact of the non-cash, after-tax goodwill impairment
charge of $104 million. Income from continuing operations was $949 million or
$2.08 per common share, including the impact of the goodwill impairment charge.



     Results for the year ended December 31, 2005 benefited from the strong new
construction market and certain selling price increases, which were more than
offset by increases in commodity, energy and freight costs, as well as a less
favorable product mix. Results for 2005 also benefited from net gains related to
the Company's financial investments.

     Fourth quarter 2005 net sales from continuing operations increased six
percent to over $3.1 billion compared with $3.0 billion in the 2004 fourth
quarter. Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2005 was
$211 million or $.50 per common share, excluding the non-cash, after-tax
goodwill impairment charge of $69 million. Including such charge, income from
continuing operations was $142 million or $.34 per common share. Income from
continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $243 million or $.54
per common share, excluding the non-cash, after-tax goodwill impairment charge
of $104 million. Including such charge, income from continuing operations was
$139 million or $.31 per common share.

     Results for the fourth quarter of 2005 benefited from net gains from the
sale of financial investments and other assets of $.02 per common share offset
by $.02 per common share from an adjustment of deferred taxes related to certain
European operations. Results for the fourth quarter of 2004 benefited from net
gains from the sale of financial investments of $.06 per common share partially
offset by an impairment charge of $.03 per common share related to the Company's
investment in Furniture Brands International common stock. Results for the 2004
fourth quarter also benefited from a reduction in the Company's tax rate related
to the utilization of foreign tax credits generated in the 2004 fourth quarter
on distributions of foreign earnings which benefited earnings by $.02 per common
share.

     During the fourth quarter of 2005, pursuant to the Company's strategy of
reviewing its business portfolio for potential consolidations and divestitures,
the Company completed the sale of two additional businesses in the Cabinets and
Related Products segment with combined annual sales of approximately $200
million for aggregate proceeds of approximately $200 million. The Company
recognized a pre-tax net gain on the disposition of these businesses of $50
million, which is included in income from discontinued operations.

     Assuming no further significant commodity cost increases and excluding any
additional costs associated with its cost reduction programs and any other
items, the Company believes, based on current business trends, that it will
achieve 2006 full-year earnings from continuing operations in a range of $2.35
to $2.45 per common share. Including planned costs and charges related to plant
closures and other profit improvement programs, which are presently expected to
approximate $70 million pre-tax 2006, earnings from continuing operations are
expected to be in a range of $2.24 to $2.34 per common share.

                                MASCO CORPORATION
                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," the Company has accounted for the 2004 planned dispositions
of Jung Pumpen, The Alvic Group, Alma Kuchen, E. Missel and SKS Group, the first
quarter 2005 planned dispositions of Gebhardt Consolidated and GMU Group and the
fourth quarter 2005 additional dispositions of Zenith Products and Aran Group as
discontinued operations.

FOURTH QUARTER 2005

- -    Net sales from continuing operations for the quarter increased six percent
     to $3.1 billion, primarily from organic growth, with North American sales
     increasing nine percent and International sales decreasing eight percent.
     In local currencies, International sales were flat compared with the fourth
     quarter of 2004.

- -    Sales of assembled cabinets, plumbing products and windows in North America
     were particularly strong in the quarter increasing in the aggregate over 13
     percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2004. Installation and Other
     Services sales were also strong and increased 11 percent compared with the
     fourth quarter of 2004.

- -    Sales at retail continued the relatively slower growth exhibited in the
     third quarter. Key retailer sales from continuing operations increased five
     percent in the 2005 fourth quarter compared with the fourth quarter of 2004
     and a two percent increase in the third quarter of 2005. The Company
     believes retail sales were negatively impacted by higher energy costs
     adversely affecting lower-income consumers and inventory adjustments by
     certain retail customers.

- -    Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $211 million
     (excluding a non-cash, after-tax charge of $69 million for goodwill
     impairment related to certain European businesses) compared with $243
     million (excluding a non-cash, after-tax charge of $104 million for
     goodwill impairment related to certain European businesses) for the fourth
     quarter of 2004. Reported income from continuing operations, including the
     goodwill impairment charges, was $142 million and $139 million for the
     fourth quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

- -    Excluding the charges for goodwill impairment in both periods, reported
     earnings from continuing operations were $.50 per common share for the
     fourth quarter of 2005, compared with the Company's most recent guidance of
     $.48 to $.52 per common share, and $.54 per common share for the fourth
     quarter of 2004.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

FOURTH QUARTER 2005 (CONTINUED)

- -    Including the charges for goodwill impairment in both periods, reported
     earnings from continuing operations were $.34 per common share for the
     fourth quarter of 2005 and $.31 per common share for the fourth quarter of
     2004.

- -    Results for the fourth quarter of 2005 benefited from net gains from the
     sale of financial investments and other assets of $.02 per common share
     offset by $.02 per common share from an adjustment of deferred taxes
     related to certain European operations. Results for the fourth quarter of
     2004 benefited from net gains from the sale of financial investments of
     $.06 per common share partially offset by an impairment charge of $.03 per
     common share related to the Company's investment in Furniture Brands
     International common stock. Results for the 2004 fourth quarter also
     benefited from a reduction in the Company's tax rate related to the
     utilization of foreign tax credits generated in the 2004 fourth quarter on
     distributions of foreign earnings which benefited earnings by $.02 per
     common share.

- -    Sales changes by segment, which were substantially all organic growth, in
     the 2005 fourth quarter versus the 2004 fourth quarter were:

     -    Cabinets and Related Products sales increased six percent;

     -    Plumbing Products sales increased four percent;

     -    Installation and Other Services sales increased 11 percent;

     -    Decorative Architectural Products sales declined one percent; and

     -    Other Specialty Products sales increased seven percent.

- -    Sales in certain segments were negatively impacted by weaker foreign
     currencies and in addition, inventory adjustments by certain retail
     customers (principally in the Decorative Architectural Products segment).

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

FOURTH QUARTER 2005 (CONCLUDED)

- -    Gross margins were 27.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared with
     29.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004. Operating profit margins as
     reported were 10.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared with 8.8
     percent in the fourth quarter of 2004. Excluding non-cash, pre-tax charges
     for goodwill impairment of $69 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and
     $112 million in the fourth quarter of 2004, operating profit margins were
     12.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared with 12.5 percent in
     the fourth quarter of 2004.

- -    Results for the fourth quarter of 2005 include the positive impact of
     higher sales volume, which was offset by the negative effect of previously
     communicated increases in a number of operating expenses, including such
     items as commodity, freight, energy and other petroleum-based product
     costs.

- -    SG&A expenses as a percent of sales, including general corporate expense,
     were 15.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 17.3 percent in the
     fourth quarter of 2004.

- -    General corporate expense was 1.5 percent of sales in the fourth quarter of
     2005 compared with 2.0 percent in the comparable period of 2004.

- -    The reported tax rates on income from continuing operations of 46.8 percent
     and 43.3 percent for the fourth quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively,
     principally reflect the impact of a lower tax benefit on the goodwill
     impairment charges. Excluding the goodwill impairment charges in 2005 and
     2004 and the adjustment of deferred taxes related to certain European
     operations in 2005 and the impact of the distribution of foreign earnings
     in 2004 the Company's tax rate was 35 percent in the fourth quarters of
     both 2005 and 2004.

- -    The Company's diluted common shares for purposes of calculating earnings
     per common share were 419 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared
     with 451 million for the fourth quarter of 2004.

FULL-YEAR 2005

- -    Net sales from continuing operations for 2005 increased seven percent to
     $12.6 billion compared with $11.9 billion for 2004. North American sales
     increased eight percent and International sales increased one percent. In
     local currencies, International sales also increased one percent.

- -    Sales of assembled cabinets, installation services and windows in North
     America were particularly strong in 2005.

- -    For the full-year 2005, key retailer sales were $3.8 billion, an increase
     of approximately four percent over $3.7 billion for 2004.

- -    Sales increases by segment, which were substantially all organic growth,
     for 2005 versus 2004 were:

     -    Cabinets and Related Products sales increased eight percent;

     -    Plumbing Products sales increased four percent;

     -    Installation and Other Services sales increased 11 percent;

     -    Decorative Architectural Products sales increased four percent; and

     -    Other Specialty Products sales increased four percent.

- -    Excluding the charges for goodwill impairment in 2005 and 2004, earnings
     from continuing operations for 2005 were $2.19 per common share, compared
     with the Company's most recent guidance, as adjusted for discontinued
     operations, of $2.16 to $2.20 per common share, and $2.31 per common share
     for 2004.

- -    The Company sold Zenith Products in North America and Aran Group in Europe
     in the fourth quarter of 2005 with combined annual sales of approximately
     $200 million for aggregate proceeds of approximately $200 million. Under
     Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the net gain on these
     transactions, along with 2005 full-year and prior period operating results
     of these companies, is reflected in discontinued operations. The impact of
     including these businesses in discontinued operations is to reduce
     full-year results of continuing operations by $.05 per common share.

     charges for goodwill impairment of $69 million and $104 million in 2005 and
     2004, respectively. Reported earnings from continuing operations were $2.03

     charges of $69 million in 2005 and $112 million in 2004 and income related
     to the Behr litigation of $6 million in 2005 and $30 million in 2004,
     operating profit margins were 13.0 percent in 2005 compared with 14.1
     percent in 2004.

     were 15.6 percent in 2005 compared with 16.8 percent in 2004.

- -    General corporate expense was 1.5 percent of sales in 2005 compared with
     1.6 percent in 2004.

- -    The Company's reported tax rate on income from continuing operations,
     excluding the goodwill impairment charges in 2005 and 2004, the adjustment
     of deferred taxes related to certain European operations in 2005 and the
     impact of the distributions of foreign earnings in 2004 was 35 percent for
     both full-year 2005 and 2004. The Company anticipates that its tax rate on
     income from continuing operations for 2006 will approximate 36 percent.

FULL-YEAR 2005 (CONTINUED)

- -    Accounts receivable days at December 31, 2005 were 48 days compared with 49
     days a year ago.

- -    Inventory days were 46 days at December 31, 2005 compared with 49 days a
     year ago.

- -    Accounts payable days were 36 days at both December 31, 2005 and 2004.

     16.8 percent a year earlier.

- -    For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, return
     on invested capital was 13.0 percent and 12.0 percent, respectively. For
     the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, return on

     percent goal by 2010.

- -    Capital expenditures including discontinued operations were $282 million or
     2.2 percent of sales in 2005, compared with $310 million or 2.5 percent of
     sales in 2004. Certain capital expenditures principally related to capacity
     expansion and facility acquisitions that were originally expected to occur

     aggregate $420 million in 2006. Depreciation and amortization was $241
     million in 2005 compared with $237 million in 2004.

FULL-YEAR 2005 (CONCLUDED)

- -    In 2005 the Company returned $1.3 billion to shareholders through share
     repurchases (31 million) and dividends. For the three-year period
     (2003-2005) ended December 31, 2005, the Company has returned $3.6 billion
     to shareholders through the repurchase of 97 million shares and dividends.

- -    The Company increased its quarterly dividend in 2005 by 11 percent from
     $.18 to $.20 per common share. The increased quarterly dividend reflects
     the Company's favorable long-term outlook, strong balance sheet and cash
     flow and recent tax law changes, and makes 2005 the 47th consecutive year
     in which dividends have been increased.

- -    The Company's diluted common shares for purposes of calculating earnings
     per common share were 430 million for the year ended December 31, 2005
     compared with 456 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.

- -    On June 10, 2005, the Company issued $500 million of fixed-rate 4.8% notes
     due 2015, resulting in net proceeds of $494 million. The Company issued
     this debt to take advantage of favorable interest rates and in anticipation
     of $800 million of debt maturing in March 2006.

- -    At the end of the year, the Company had a strong balance sheet, with over
     $2 billion in cash and marketable securities and $2 billion in unused bank
     lines. The Company will utilize $800 million of its cash to redeem debt
     maturing in March 2006.

- -    The Company's marketable securities had an aggregate cost basis of $94
     million, with an aggregate market value of $115 million, including
     unrealized gains of $21 million at December 31, 2005.

- -    In 2005 free cash flow was over $1 billion. For the three-year period
     (2003-2005) ended December 31, 2005, the Company's free cash flow (defined
     as cash from operations less capital expenditures and before dividends)
     aggregated $3.4 billion.

- -    In 2005, the Company generated $193 million of cash from the net
     disposition of financial investments and $278 million from the net
     disposition of certain businesses.

- -    Debt as a percent of total capital was 49 percent at December 31, 2005
     compared with 44 percent at December 31, 2004.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

2006 OUTLOOK

- -    Based on the current market price for the Company's common stock, diluted
     common shares for the computation of earnings per common share at January
     1, 2006 are 418 million. This excludes the impact of any 2006 repurchases
     of common stock.

- -    The Company believes that it will achieve further organic sales growth in
     2006, and, based on current business trends, believes that it will achieve
     full-year earnings from continuing operations in a range of $2.35 to $2.45
     per common share, including approximately $60 million of increased benefits
     to be realized in 2006 from our cost reduction programs.

- -    The Company's full-year guidance is based on housing starts declining five
     percent from 2005 levels, share repurchases of a minimum 20 million common
     shares, modest margin improvement reflecting selling price increases
     offsetting rising commodity costs and anticipated income from financial
     investments. The guidance also assumes no further significant commodity
     cost increases.

- -    The Company in January 2006 announced a planned plant closure in the
     Plumbing Products segment. The costs associated with the closure are
     expected to be incurred over the remainder of 2006. These costs and other
     costs and charges related to the Company's cost reduction initiatives are
     anticipated to aggregate approximately $70 million in 2006. Including this
     $70 million of anticipated costs (approximately $.11 per common share)
     guidance for earnings from continuing operations would be in a range of
     $2.24 to $2.34 per common share.

- -    While the Company will continue to provide annual guidance, it will no
     longer provide quarterly earnings guidance.

                          PROFIT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS
                          ---------------------------

- -    The Company remains committed to its strategy of value creation and is
     focused on the simplification of its business model, cash flow generation,
     improvement in return on invested capital, and the return of cash to
     shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

     Consistent with this strategy, the Company is pursuing a variety of
     initiatives to offset cost increases and increase operating profit,
     including sourcing programs, the restructuring of certain of its businesses
     including consolidations, manufacturing rationalization, headcount
     reductions, and other profit improvement programs.

- -    MAJOR PROGRAM COMPONENTS
     ------------------------

     -    Asian sourcing has grown from $200 million in 2003, $450 million in
          2004 to in excess of our $550 million goal in 2005. We have previously
          indicated that we save 25-30% on items we outsource to Asia.

     -    Consolidations, together with divestitures, have reduced our business
          units from 67 in early 2003 to less than 40 at December 31, 2005.

- -    PROGRAM COSTS
     -------------

     We estimate that direct costs associated with our cost reduction
     initiatives approximated $30 million in 2005, and anticipate that direct
     costs will approximate $70 million (primarily related to manufacturing
     plant closures) or $.11 per common share in 2006. The quarterly timing of
     recording costs in 2006 will be driven by events over the course of the
     year.

- -    PROGRAM BENEFITS
     ----------------

     We believe that we realized additional cost reduction benefits in 2005 of
     approximately $40 million. Additional cost reduction benefits in 2006 are
     expected to approximate $60 million. The Company expects to realize the
     full extent of the benefits from these initiatives in 2007 and beyond.
     Minimal additional costs related to implementing these programs are
     presently expected for 2007.

- -    We expect to provide further detail related to our cost reduction programs
     during our March 30, 2006 Investor Conference.

NOTES:

The Company presents information comparing results from one period to another
excluding the results of businesses acquired in order to assess the performance
of the underlying businesses and to assess to what extent acquisitions are
driving growth.

The Company also presents information comparing results of International
operations from one period to another using constant exchange rates. To present
this information, current period results for foreign entities are converted into
U.S. dollars using the prior period's exchange rates, rather than exchange rates
for the current period. The Company presents this information in order to assess
how the underlying businesses performed in local currencies before taking into
account currency fluctuations.

NOTES:

The unusual relationship between income tax and loss before income taxes in 2004
(including the impairment charge for assets held for sale and the net gain on
disposals) resulted primarily from the expected loss providing no current tax
benefit and the reversal of deferred tax assets of the discontinued operations
which were no longer expected to be realized. The after-tax charge for the
impairment of assets held for sale of $151 million included $12 million for the
expensing of deferred tax assets of the discontinued operations for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2004.

The information for discontinued operations is for the period prior to the
respective dates of disposition.
