Masse Group Painting

Masse Group Painting, based in Kingston, is a residential and light-commercial painting outfit run by Dan Masse — one 2026 review, from someone in local real estate, called him a 4th-generation painter carrying on a family trade and pointed to his involvement in a monthly South Shore contractor forum. The volume and consistency of the praise is the headline: 44 reviews on file, nearly all five stars, describing everything from full exterior repaints and interior kitchen refreshes to deck staining, siding replacement, power washing, and cabinet work. The details repeat across years rather than clustering in one burst — crews (Matt and Kurt are both named more than once) show up on time, protect furniture and floors, clean the site daily, and finish on budget. One customer researched several firms before choosing Masse for a large two-level IPE hardwood deck with over 350 spindles and came away calling it the right decision; another, in a 2025 review, praised Dan for quoting fairly rather than treating a vacation-home job as a chance to overcharge. On Google the business holds 4.9★ from 69 ratings, and on Houzz 4.9★ from 25; it's also listed as a member of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America and a Fine Paints of Europe certified contractor. Two things are worth knowing before calling. First, the state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#166055) has expired — worth asking about directly, since this work goes beyond the interior-painting-only jobs that wouldn't need one. Second, a 2025 review described a month-long wait for a promised estimate follow-up with no returned calls, a contrast with the responsiveness described everywhere else in the record — Instagram messages answered within minutes, quotes turned around quickly. For a full exterior repaint, a historic-home refresh, or a larger multi-trade exterior job, the reviews suggest a crew that shows up, protects the property, and finishes what it starts — just confirm the registration is current and get a firm timeline in writing.
