Jill is a consummate professional and an excellent communicator. She says what she can and will do, does it, and stands behind the work. I can highly recommend TOC for your project. **★★★★★ — Yelena, Nov. 2025** > Great experience start to finish with Touch of Class! Jill held my hand through the whole process and gave thoughtful, helpful advice all while being patient with my overzealous attention to detail and frequent indecision. The final product came out so wonderful. The guys that came and painted the doors were so nice. It's hard going into these sorts of projects without any background or experience, but everyone was patient in explaining the process to me and answering all of my questions. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — HU-294192122, Sept. 2025** > TOC Refished my master bedroom and dining room set. Everything came out amazing. Picked up and delivered on time. Great people to work with. Highly recommend. Going to do my kitchen next. > Rich L **★★★★★ — HU-579227652, Sept. 2024** > Very happy with the way my kitchen came out > Wasn’t sure about having them painted > But they proved me wrong > Jill was helpful with color selection and her crew was very professional > Great job guys **★★★★★ — HU-427977858, March 2024** > I could not be happier with my kitchen/bar and master bath facelift! Jill made the process simple and oversaw everything while I was traveling for a few weeks. It looks like I have new cabinets! I was recommended by a friend to Jill and now it is my turn to do the same. **★★★★★ — HU-693656482, Oct. 2023** > Jill’s experience and professionalism guided me through the process every step of the way. Don and another gentleman came to paint my cabinets and install new cabinet doors and hardware. Their work was neat and clean and they did a beautiful job. Very satisfied with Touch of Class and highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — lulee5, June 2023** > I am thrilled with the kitchen renovation planned and carried out by Jill and her team of stellar co-workers. Her advice was wonderful, the project was completed in a timely manner and the results are beautiful. The men who did the painting, cabinet removal and installation were meticulous in their workmanship and never left a mess. I cannot think of one part of this project that was not well done. Jill even advised me with regard to putting a “coffee bar” in my dining room. > I highly recommend! **★★★★★ — michelewa, June 2023** > I want to give a shout out to Touch of Class Fine Finishing (Fairlawn) for helping us transform our 1990’s Oak Kitchen into a more modern and timeless kitchen. Touch of Class is a family owned and operated business who treat their customers like family. If you interested in a kitchen facelift I highly recommend Jill Turano Colón and her team at Touch of Class, they were a pleasure to work with. Some before and after pictures. **★★★★★ — HU-285633074, Jan. 2023** > Jill and team did an excellent job from start to finish . She’s built an incredible team all bringing their own area of expertise to the project. We worked with Touch of Class to refinish our cabinets and redo a new backsplash. Even after the project was complete they came back to do any final touch ups until it was perfect. The team was very responsive through the entire project as well. The little details go a long way and highly recommend working with Touch of Class for future projects. **★★★★★ — Columbia Brooke Hills, Nov. 2022** > We used Touch of Class to refinish our kitchen cabinets. They did an OUTSTANDING job. Jill let me on-site for our quote and was immediately responsive throughout the entire process. She is fantastic to work with. Our cabinets look BRAND NEW. I will come back to Touch of Class for our future projects. They are hands down the BEST! The pricing was fair and our project installed ahead of the promised date. We could not be happier. Use them, you will not be disappointed!! **★★★★★ — lynnegad, April 2022** > Amazing! From start to finish, Jill and the team at A Touch of Class were spectacular. Our kitchen was totally transformed. Jill helped with everything and I mean everything! From picking out paint colors, countertops, and even the hardware, Jill took care of it all. I highly recommend A Touch of Class. You will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Marissa Gordon, March 2022** > Jill and the whole team at TOC were incredible from start to finish. Jill was always available to answer any and all questions and helped us to choose everything down to the hardware. The entire process was seamless. I recommend TOC to anyone looking from a small facelift to an entire kitchen makeover. We love our new kitchen. ## Selected projects - [Westfield Kim](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westfield-kim-pj-vj~2315510) - Location: Westfield, NJ - Photos: 3 - [Alicia Keys' Refinished Kitchen Cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/alicia-keys-refinished-kitchen-cabinets-pj-vj~1287594) - Location: Englewood, NJ - Photos: 1 - Description: Refinished dark cabinets to white painted. - [Brad Kroenig's Modern Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brad-kroenig-s-modern-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~1941002) - Location: Wyckoff, NJ - Photos: 3 - [Pink Oak Cabinets Updated for Sale](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pink-oak-cabinets-updated-for-sale-pj-vj~95931) - Location: Wayne, NJ - Photos: 1 - Description: Refinished this honey oak kitchen to help customer prepare for sale of house in a painted and glazed finish. - [Refurbished China Cabinet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refurbished-china-cabinet-pj-vj~470653) - Location: Nutley, NJ - Photos: 1 - Description: Refinished this piece that had been in Nicoles family to match her existing dining room set. - [Marci Richter Refinished Dining Room Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marci-richter-refinished-dining-room-furniture-pj-vj~1221371) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: Refinished table to the existing wood tone and painted and upholstered chairs to the colors approved selection. - [Refinished Cabinets, Kitchenette, Off-white Black Rub-through](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refinished-cabinets-kitchenette-off-white-black-rub-through-pj-vj~825759) - Location: Montclair, NJ - Photos: 2 - Description: Refinished all kitchen cabinets and dining furniture to Off white custom color on main cabinets and black rub thru on dining table and kitchen counter. - [New Doors on Old Frames - Bergen County, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-doors-on-old-frames-bergen-county-nj-pj-vj~1720390) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Refaced oak kitchen cabinets and replaced with painted maple recessed cabinets. - [Refinished Kitchen Table/Chairs & Reupholstered Chairs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refinished-kitchen-table-chairs-and-reupholstered-chairs-pj-vj~810564) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Refinished Maple Cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refinished-maple-cabinets-pj-vj~1221375) - Location: Wyckoff, NJ - Photos: 3 - Description: Refinished maple toned cabinets to white on the main kitchen and black rub thru on the island.

A: Email me. I can give you a ballpark. Mmadeo@aol.com Touch of Class Fine Finishing. **Q: Could you tell me the color of the gray island?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I believe it was SW 7023 functional gray. **Q: Darken my kitchen cabinets** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have an all wood ash kitchen cabinetry. It is presently a golden wood stain colour. I want to change them to a dark rich colour (haven't found exact colour name yet). What is the best way to do this? What products are best and technique? A: We often tone the cabinets of our customers who want to go darker. We warn them they will lose some of the grain but they don't mind and we get good results. **Q: Antique White Kitchen Or Antique Black Kitchen** *(in Polls)* My husband thinks white kitchens look cheap and we have an old house (100+yrs)...we are trying to pick cabinetry and can't decide to go antique black or white. A: http://www.houzz.com/pro/mmadeo/touch-of-class-fine-finishing\#!projects-expanded check out the mccarthy (wood and white) and scarsdale (white and black) kitchens for some options **Q: Would the quartzite work as a bathroom countertop and in a steam showe** *(in Photo Questions)* I am remodeling and was considering a white marble I like the look of your countertop but I am worried about make up etc and will it work in a steam shower A: Quartz is perfect for bathroom countertops. Very durable. **Q: What color are the cabinets and what type of marble is on the island?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the marble because it ties in both the gray cabinets and warm brown wood floors. What color are the cabinets and what type of marble was used for the waterfall island? Would you consider pairing the gray bottom cabinets with white uppers in a kitchen layout requiring both or is the gray too light in tone for the contrast to be noticeable? A: Love the stone used on the island counter and the surrounding windows...spectacular!!! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-27.*
