What do Portage Towers in Cuyahoga Falls, Statehouse Apartments in Parma, Shaker Park Apartments in Warrensville Heights, the Apartments at Nautica, and Bridgeview Apartments and the Windsor Building in downtown Cleveland all have in common?

All of the kitchens have been outfitted with cabinets from Northeast Factory Direct.

“We talk about how tough and durable our cabinets are all the time, but there still are some people who are surprised to find out that not only do our cabinets make their way into thousands of kitchens across Northeast Ohio each year, they’re also the cabinet of choice for major apartment complexes and commercial locations in the area, too,” says Angelo Lardomita, lead kitchen designer for Northeast Factory Direct. “Our commercial clients demand uncompromised quality at a budget-friendly price, and we give them that.”

“The cabinets we install have to be able to withstand years of use and abuse by tenants,” he adds. “The people who own these complexes aren’t interested in replacing the cabinets in the kitchen every time a tenant moves out. They have to last. That’s why so many commercial property owners turn to us to design and install the kitchens in their units. Tenants are drawn to the on-trend look of the kitchens we design, and property owners are drawn to the high quality at rock-bottom prices.”

Homeowners in the area can enjoy the same savings formula.

“Our cabinets sell for 60-70 percent less than comparable cabinets and, in addition to price, we regularly beat the competition with our service and installation,” Angelo adds. “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.”

And you don’t have to be a commercial property owner buying in bulk to enjoy the dramatic savings mentioned above. Angelo says savings of that magnitude come standard.

Free Stuff!

Here’s how NEFD takes a homeowner’s dollars 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 75 different door/drawer styles and color combinations from which to choose. Here are the rest:

  • Doorknobs 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

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,” Angelo 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.”

Buy Now, Pay Later
NEFD offers zero percent financing along with its expert design service and exclusive-to-NEFD tradesmen on the job, so if you’d like to invest in home furnishings, a hot tub, game room furniture, or any of the other below-retail goodies the store sells, you can do that, instead, and pay for your kitchen over time.
