With more than 28 years experience in construction, both commercial and residential, low to high end, I specialize in renovations, remodeling, and all handyman projects. I am a licensed general contractor in Massachusetts. I will take on a small two-hour project assembling IKEA furniture and handle it with the same attention to detail and care as I do when remodeling a $20,000 bathroom or 80,000 kitchen. I provide free estimates, to let you know the cost and time involved for your projects. Call today to discuss your home improvement needs.
"Richard was great to work with. He showed up on time the day he came to give us an estimate. And then he and his crew showed up right on time to do the work as scheduled. It was a laundry list of things to do - storm door replacement and repair, replacing a broken sash on a window, fixing a splintered door frame, planing doors that stuck, fixing doors that were loose, etc. It's an old house so standard things don't always fit and Richard figured it how to make it looks nice and fit without making it ridiculously expensive. We'll hire him again to do more work for us."

"I recently hired Zilli Construction LLC for a painting job at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was professional, seamless, and exceeded my expectations. The team arrived on time, well-prepared with all the necessary tools and materials. They took great care in prepping the space, covering furniture, and taping off areas to ensure clean lines and no mess. Their attention to detail was impressive, especially in tricky areas like trim and corners, where the finish was flawless. The quality of the paint job itself was outstanding. The colors were applied evenly, with no streaks or patchiness, and the final look transformed my space beautifully. They used high-quality paint, which has held up perfectly so far. I also appreciated their input during the color selection process—they offered helpful suggestions while respecting my preferences. Yasmin Mazzinghy - Jan 2025 "

For most standard interior doors, professional installation takes approximately three hours from start to finish. The timeframe may extend if complications arise, such as the need for wall repairs or custom fitting. More complex installations like pocket doors or double French doors require additional time. If you're tackling the project yourself, expect the process to take longer, especially if you're new to door installation.
Most straightforward door frame replacements don't require building permits since they're considered minor improvements that don't affect structural elements. However, if your project involves widening the door opening, creating a new doorway, or modifying load-bearing walls, you'll likely need to obtain a permit from your local building department. Historical districts and some homeowners associations may have additional requirements or restrictions.
For a DIY interior door installation, you'll need basic tools including a tape measure, level, power drill with various bits, screwdriver set, hammer, utility knife, and shims. You might also need a saw for trimming the door if necessary, sandpaper for smoothing edges, and a chisel for creating hinge mortises. Having a helper makes the job considerably easier, especially when positioning and holding the door during installation.
When measuring for a replacement door, determine whether you need just the door slab or a pre-hung unit that includes the frame. For a slab door, measure the width, height, and thickness of your existing door. For a pre-hung door, measure the width and height of the rough opening (from stud to stud and floor to header). Also note the swing direction—whether the door opens to the left or right when facing it from the outside of the room.
