                 MASCO CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
                AND A REDUCTION IN ANTICIPATED EARNINGS FOR 2006

                          MASCO CORPORATION HIGHLIGHTS:

      THIRD QUARTER 2006

            -     Net sales from continuing operations increased one percent to
                  $3.3 billion.

            -     Income from continuing operations was $236 million or $.60 per
                  common share, excluding an $8 million non-cash, pre-tax
                  impairment charge for financial investments and $9 million
                  pre-tax of costs and charges related to profit improvement
                  programs; including such charges, income from continuing
                  operations was $225 million or $.57 per common share.

            -     The Company returned $263 million to shareholders through
                  dividends and share repurchases.

            -     The Company had $870 million in cash and marketable securities
                  at September 30, 2006.

      Taylor, Michigan (October 31, 2006) - Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS) today
reported that net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006 increased one percent to $3.3 billion. North American net
sales decreased one percent and International net sales increased 10 percent. In
local currencies, International net sales increased five percent compared with
the third quarter of 2005.

      Income from continuing operations, excluding the non-cash impairment
charge for financial investments and costs and charges related to profit
improvement programs in the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, was $236 million or
$.60 per common share and $290 million or $.68 per common share, respectively.
The third quarters of 2006 and 2005 benefited from net gains from the sale of
financial investments of $.01 and $.04 per common share, respectively.

      Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2006 was $225
million or $.57 per common share, including an $8 million non-cash, pre-tax
impairment charge for financial investments and $9 million pre-tax of costs and
charges related to profit improvement programs. Income from continuing
operations for the third quarter of 2005 was $254 million or $.59 per common
share, including a $43 million non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge for financial
investments and $12 million pre-tax of costs and charges related to profit
improvement programs.



      Net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $252 million or $.64 per
common share and included a $50 million pre-tax net gain ($.07 per common share,
after tax) from discontinued operations. Net income for the third quarter of
2005 was $262 million or $.61 per common share and included $8 million of
after-tax income ($.02 per common share) from discontinued operations.

      In September 2006, the Company completed the sale of Computerized Security
Systems ("CSS"). CSS supplies electronic locksets primarily to hospitality
markets in the United States and had annual sales of $73 million. This
disposition was completed pursuant to the Company's determination that this
business unit was not core to the Company's long-term strategy. Under generally
accepted accounting principles, the net gain on this transaction, along with
2006 year-to-date and prior-period operating results, are reflected in
discontinued operations. Total net proceeds from the sale were $91 million; the
Company recognized a $51 million pre-tax net gain (included in discontinued
operations) on the disposition of CSS.

      As part of its profit improvement programs, the Company announced a plant
closure in the Plumbing Products segment in January 2006. In the third quarter
of 2006, the Company incurred $9 million pre-tax ($52 million year-to-date) of
costs and charges related to this plant closure and other profit improvement
programs in the Plumbing Products and the Cabinets and Related Products
segments. The Company expects to incur additional costs and charges during the
fourth quarter of 2006 for its profit improvement programs and currently
anticipates that total costs and charges related to these programs for the
full-year 2006 will aggregate approximately $70 million pre-tax, as previously
announced. Implementing these programs should improve the Company's earnings
outlook for 2007 and beyond.

      The Company's results continued to be adversely affected by accelerating
declines in housing activity, a moderation in consumer spending and increased
commodity costs, partially offset by profit improvement programs and selling
price increases. The Company has implemented additional selling price increases
in an effort to at least partially offset commodity cost increases.

      A softening of incoming orders for building products and services along
with a forecasted deeper-than-expected decline in year-over-year single family
housing starts for the last several months of 2006 are expected to result in the
Company's fourth quarter net sales being down mid-single digits compared with
the fourth quarter of 2005. Accordingly, full-year earnings from continuing
operations, excluding costs and charges related to profit improvement programs,
impairment charges for investments and any other items, may be closer to $2.20
per common share rather than the Company's most recent guidance of $2.25 to
$2.30 per common share. Including such charges, earnings from continuing
operations may be closer to $1.95 per common share for the full-year 2006.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

THIRD QUARTER 2006

- -     Net sales from continuing operations increased one percent; North American
      sales decreased one percent and International sales increased 10 percent.
      In local currencies, International sales increased five percent compared
      with the third quarter of 2005. Net sales slowed from the first half of
      2006 as a result of an accelerating decline in housing activity and a
      moderation in consumer spending in North America.

- -     Key retailer sales from continuing operations were flat in the 2006 third
      quarter compared with an increase of one percent in the 2005 third quarter
      and increases of one percent in the 2006 second quarter and seven percent
      in the 2006 first quarter. The Company believes that retail sales in the
      third quarter of 2006 were negatively impacted by a softening in demand
      for larger ticket items.

- -     Sales of non-insulation installed products were particularly strong with
      double-digit increases. Sales of major faucet brands combined and
      architectural coatings were up mid-single digits. Sales of assembled
      cabinets were up modestly. Sales of certain products and services,
      including windows and doors and installation of insulation, were
      negatively impacted by a slowdown in the new construction market and
      experienced mid-single-digit declines. Sales of ready-to-assemble cabinets
      declined double-digits in the quarter.

- -     Sales changes by segment in the 2006 third quarter versus the 2005 third
      quarter were:

      -     Cabinets and Related Products sales declined four percent;

      -     Plumbing Products sales increased five percent;

      -     Installation and Other Services sales increased one percent;

      -     Decorative Architectural Products sales increased five percent; and

      -     Other Specialty Products sales declined six percent.

- -     Results continued to be adversely affected by accelerating declines in
      housing activity, a moderation in consumer spending and increased
      commodity costs, partially offset by profit improvement programs and
      selling price increases.

THIRD QUARTER 2006 (CONTINUED)

- -     Income from continuing operations, excluding the non-cash impairment
      charge for financial investments and costs and charges related to profit
      improvement programs in the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, was $236
      million or $.60 per common share and $290 million or $.68 per common
      share, respectively.

- -     Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2006 was $225
      million or $.57 per common share, including an $8 million non-cash,
      pre-tax impairment charge for financial investments and $9 million pre-tax
      of costs and charges related to profit improvement programs. Income from
      continuing operations for the third quarter of 2005 was $254 million or
      $.59 per common share, including a $43 million non-cash, pre-tax
      impairment charge for financial investments and $12 million pre-tax of
      costs and charges related to profit improvement programs.

- -     As part of its profit improvement programs, the Company announced a plant
      closure in the Plumbing Products segment in January 2006. In the third
      quarter of 2006, the Company incurred $7 million ($35 million
      year-to-date) pre-tax of costs and charges related to this plant closure
      and other profit improvement programs in the Plumbing Products segment. In
      addition, in the third quarter of 2006, the Company incurred $2 million
      ($17 million year-to-date) pre-tax of costs and charges related to the
      closure of a relatively small ready-to-assemble cabinet manufacturing
      facility in the Cabinets and Related Products segment. In the third
      quarter of 2005, the Company incurred $12 million pre-tax of costs and
      charges related to profit improvement programs in the Plumbing Products
      segment.

- -     The third quarters of 2006 and 2005 benefited from net gains from the sale
      of financial investments of $.01 and $.04 per common share, respectively.

- -     The third quarters of 2006 and 2005 both included currency transaction
      gains of $.01 per common share.

- -     Net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $252 million or $.64 per
      common share and included $27 million of after-tax income or $.07 per
      common share from discontinued operations (including a $50 million pre-tax
      net gain). Net income for the third quarter of 2005 was $262 million or
      $.61 per common share and included $8 million of after-tax income or $.02
      per common share from discontinued operations.

- -     Gross margins were 28.0 percent in the 2006 third quarter compared with
      28.7 percent in the 2005 third quarter. Operating profit margins, as
      reported, were 12.1 percent in the third quarter of 2006 compared with
      13.9 percent in the third quarter of 2005. Operating profit margins in the
      third quarters of 2006 and 2005 were negatively affected by the costs and
      charges related to the Company's profit improvement programs. Excluding
      these charges of $9 million pre-tax and $12 million pre-tax in 2006 and
      2005, respectively, and the income regarding litigation settlement of $1
      million pre-tax in 2005, operating profit margins were 12.4 percent and
      14.2 percent for the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The
      Company's operating profit margins were also negatively affected by
      lower-than-anticipated sales volume, increased commodity costs and a less
      favorable product mix.

THIRD QUARTER 2006 (CONTINUED)

- -     On January 1, 2003, the Company elected to prospectively change its method
      of accounting for stock-based compensation; accordingly, stock options
      granted, modified or settled subsequent to January 1, 2003 were accounted
      for using the fair value method and have been expensed in the Company's
      financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based
      Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), and began recording expense for unvested stock
      options awarded prior to January 1, 2003 through the remaining vesting
      periods. The Company currently estimates that stock-based compensation
      expense for the full-year 2006 will approximate $100 million pre-tax
      compared with $75 million pre-tax for the full-year 2005.

- -     SG&A expenses as a percent of sales, including general corporate expense,
      were 15.9 percent in the 2006 third quarter compared with 14.8 percent in
      the 2005 third quarter. On a year-to-date basis, SG&A expenses as a
      percent of sales were 16.0 percent at September 30, 2006 compared with
      15.7 percent at September 30, 2005. Higher SG&A expenses in 2006 reflect
      increased stock-based compensation expense and modest increases in
      information system implementation costs and other expenses.

- -     General corporate expense was 1.6 percent of sales in both the third
      quarters of 2006 and 2005.

- -     In September 2006, the Company completed the sale of Computerized Security
      Systems ("CSS"). This disposition was completed pursuant to the Company's
      determination that this business unit was not core to the Company's
      long-term strategy. CSS supplies electronic locksets primarily to
      hospitality markets in the United States, had annual sales of $73 million
      and was included in the Other Specialty Products segment. Under generally
      accepted accounting principles, the net gain on this transaction along
      with 2006 year-to-date and prior-period operating results are reflected in
      discontinued operations (CSS contributed $.01 per common share in 2005 and
      on a full-year basis in 2006, was expected to contribute $.02 per common
      share). Total net proceeds from the sale were $91 million; the Company
      recognized a $51 million pre-tax net gain (included in discontinued
      operations) on the disposition of CSS.

- -    The Company received total net proceeds of $145 million and recognized a
     pre-tax net gain of $53 million related to the sale of several businesses
     in the first nine months of 2006.

THIRD QUARTER 2006 (CONTINUED)

- -     Accounts receivable days at the end of the third quarter were 50 days
      compared with 49 days a year ago.

- -     Inventory days at the end of the third quarter were 50 days compared with
      47 days a year ago.

- -     Accounts payable days at the end of the third quarter were 37 days
      compared with 36 days a year ago.

- -     Working capital at September 30, 2006 (defined as accounts receivable and
      inventories less accounts payable) was 17.6 percent of the last twelve
      months' sales compared with 17.7 percent a year earlier.

- -     The Company's tax rate was 34.8 percent for the third quarter of 2006,
      compared with 34.3 percent for the comparable period of the prior year.
      The Company currently estimates that its tax rate should approximate 34 to
      35 percent for the full-year 2006.

- -     At the end of the quarter, the Company had a strong balance sheet with
      $870 million in cash and marketable securities and $2 billion in unused
      bank lines.

- -     Debt as a percent of total capitalization was 46 percent at September 30,
      2006 compared with 49 percent at September 30, 2005.

- -     For the twelve months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005,
      return on invested capital (ROIC) (as reported) was 12.4 percent and 11.9
      percent, respectively. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2006 and
      September 30, 2005, ROIC (as reconciled) was 12.9 percent and 13.0
      percent, respectively. While the Company remains highly committed to the
      continued improvement in its ROIC, based on current business trends, which
      have resulted in a reduction in anticipated earnings for 2006, the Company
      does not anticipate that it will achieve its 15 percent ROIC goal by the
      end of 2006. However, the Company continues to believe that it will
      achieve its ROIC goal of 18 percent by 2010.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

THIRD QUARTER 2006 (CONCLUDED)

- -     Through the first nine months of 2006, the Company has repurchased and
      retired 27 million shares (7 million in the third quarter of 2006) of
      Company common stock. The Company had 38 million common shares remaining
      under its repurchase authorization at September 30, 2006.

- -     The Company's diluted common shares for purposes of calculating earnings
      per common share were 393 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared
      with 427 million for the third quarter of 2005.

FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

- -     On October 3, 2006, the Company issued $1 billion of fixed-rate 6.125%
      Notes due 2016, resulting in net proceeds of $988 million. The Note
      offering was in anticipation of the 2007 debt maturities.

- -     The Company's results continued to be adversely affected by accelerating
      declines in housing activity, a moderation in consumer spending and
      increased commodity costs, partially offset by profit improvement programs
      and selling price increases. The Company has implemented additional
      selling price increases in an effort to at least partially offset
      commodity cost increases.

- -     A softening of incoming orders for building products and services along
      with a forecasted deeper-than-expected decline in year-over-year single
      family housing starts for the last several months of 2006 are expected to
      result in the Company's fourth quarter net sales being down mid-single
      digits compared with the fourth quarter of 2005. Accordingly, full-year
      earnings from continuing operations, excluding costs and charges related
      to profit improvement programs, impairment charges for investments and any
      other items, may be closer to $2.20 per common share rather than the
      Company's most recent guidance of $2.25 to $2.30 per common share.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK (CONCLUDED)

- -     The Company expects to incur additional costs and charges during the
      fourth quarter of 2006 for its profit improvement programs and currently
      anticipates that total costs and charges related to these programs for the
      full-year 2006 will aggregate approximately $70 million pre-tax, as
      previously announced. Including this $70 million of anticipated costs
      ($.11 per common share), and the non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge for
      financial investments of $86 million ($.14 per common share), earnings
      from continuing operations may be closer to $1.95 per common share for the
      full-year 2006.

- -     The Company expects to continue to return a minimum of $1 billion annually
      to shareholders, on average, through dividends and share repurchases as
      part of its ongoing commitment to value creation. The Company has returned
      $3.6 billion to shareholders over the last three calendar years, including
      dividends and 97 million of share repurchases. In the third quarter of
      2006, the Company returned $263 million to shareholders through dividends
      and share repurchases and has already returned over $1 billion in the
      first nine months of 2006.

- -     Diluted common shares for the computation of earnings per common share at
      October 1, 2006 are 390 million. This excludes the impact of any fourth
      quarter repurchases of common stock.

      Statements contained herein may include certain forward-looking statements
regarding Masco's future sales, earnings growth potential and other

                            2006 & 2005 - BY QUARTER

     $8 million non-cash, pre-tax ($.01 per common share, after tax) impairment
     charge for certain private equity funds.

- -    Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 includes a

     charge for certain investments, primarily related to Metaldyne Corporation

- -    Income from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2006 includes
     a $50 million pre-tax net gain ($.07 per common share, after tax) from the
     disposition of businesses.

     of 2006 and during 2005, all of which were treated as discontinued
     operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
     or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

- -    Operating results for the fourth quarter of 2005 reflect a non-cash,

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.
