Introduce yourself! Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Daniel Masse, owner of Masse Group. We offer painting services for homes, specializing in high-end residential projects across the South Shore, Beacon Hill, Cape Cod and MetroWest.
What made you want to start your own business?
I’m a fourth generation painter, but I wasn’t always so sure the business was for me. I had actually planned to go to law school!
Life had other plans, and when I was 23, my mother passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm. I stepped up to help my dad run the business before officially taking it over in 1998.
What do you love the most about owning a business in Massachusetts?
This is by far one of the best areas to own a painting business. There are so many historical homes and clients really appreciate quality work.
What are your favorite small businesses to support in Massachusetts?
Local Restaurants on the South Shore!
What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned throughout your career?
Be honest with clients and always ask for a review and referrals after the work is completed. It pays off in spades.
If you weren’t in your current position, what would your next dream job be?
I think I would have made a great attorney. I like the challenge and being able to argue cases seeing both sides of every story.
When you’re not working, what activities do you enjoy?
Love to hike in Vermont!
