4 to 6 hours (Today's Homeowner); 2 to 4 hours for a single door (Fixr; its FAQ says 1 to 3).
In Massachusetts, contractors and subcontractors who solicit, bid on or perform work on an existing, owner-occupied home with one to four units must register as a Home Improvement Contractor. A separate Construction Supervisor License, which requires an exam, is generally required for work on a building's structural elements. Some part-time and small jobs under $500 are exempt.
