We’re seeing a huge influx of people who want to remodel their kitchens—and they want to do it for less,” says Alex Nemet, owner of Northeast Factory Direct. “Right now, everyone is focused on creating a space to love inside their home.”

Because NEFD is at the forefront of kitchen designs and cabinetry styles, you don’t have to settle for average just because you’re saving a ton of money. Alex says they stay current on all the latest colors and styles, so if you want blue or gray cabinets with Shaker style doors, they’ve got them—and you won’t have to wait months to have your new kitchen installed.

“Unlike some of our competitors who have six- to12-week wait times for cabinets, we can get them in in as few as four weeks,” Alex reveals. “We planned carefully for the rush, and we’re able to meet the demand.”

Cabinets from NEFD sell for 60-70 percent less than comparable models, and Alex says he and his team regularly beat the competition with their service and installation. “When it comes to maximizing the return on an investment in your home, we can make a couple hundred dollars spent translate into a couple thousand saved,” he smiles.

The design, 3-D elevations and in-home measurements are just a few of the freebies you’ll get when you shop NEFD for solid wood cabinets with raised or recessed door panels, and dozens of different door/drawer styles and color combinations from which to choose.

Free Stuff!

Here’s how NEFD takes your dollars even further.

The complete design, 3-D elevations and in-home measurements are just a few of the freebies you’ll get when you shop NEFD for solid wood cabinets with raised or recessed door panels, and dozens of different door/drawer styles and color combinations from which to choose. Here are the rest:

  • Door knobs and drawer pulls – free
  • Design service – free
  • Design to take with you without a commitment – free
  • Upgrade to all-wood construction, solid maple dovetail drawers, steel undermount full-extension guides, soft-close doors and drawers, and paint, stain and finish options of your choosing – free

The popularity of NEFD’s cabinet department means that customers from across Northeast Ohio and beyond regularly clamor for time with each store’s top-level designers. To secure uninterrupted time, scheduling an appointment is best.

Kitchens Starting at $1,899
“Our basic L-shaped kitchen starts at just $1,899, but most kitchens average about $5,500. And at that price, you’re getting all of the bells and whistles, like a pull-out trash cabinet, roll-out trays, crown molding and more. At other places, those things are expensive add-ons. No way could you get them into a $5,500 kitchen,” Alex says. “And our cabinets have the look of custom and semi-custom styles. The difference is we offer them at a fraction of the price others are selling them. And we don’t just sell them in standard sizes.”

So how does the NEFD crew make installing a fresh new gathering hub in the home so affordable? The secret sauce is that Alex has buying power that blows his competition out of the water.

If you’d like to make this the year you invest in your home, you’ll have plenty left over after your kitchen update to grab new furnishings, a hot tub or any of the other below-retail goodies the store sells. You can even pay for your kitchen over time. NEFD offers zero percent financing along with its expert design service and exclusive-to-NEFD tradesmen on the job.
