The holidays will be here before you know it, which makes now the time to secure your spot on the Northeast Factory Direct kitchen remodel schedule.

“Our schedule quickly starts to fill up right about now, so if you’ve been dreaming of a new kitchen in time for Christmas, it’s time to make your move,” says Angelo Lardomita, lead kitchen designer at NEFD.

Here’s the timeline for planning. First, schedule your appointment with a talented NEFD design pro and go through the process of creating the kitchen of your dreams. If that includes moving a wall or gutting the interior, they can plan for that—but it takes time to get it just right. Second, cabinets take about five to six weeks to arrive at the store, which puts you into mid to late fall for installation. Third, depending on the significance of your remodel, you’ll need to allow for the actual remodel to take place.

“It’s definitely a process,” Angelo notes. “We want you to love your new space, and planning is a key part of that.”

On Trend
Red-hot right now at NEFD, white and gray Shaker-style cabinets continue to be the hottest sellers. “White is number one, followed closely by gray,” Angelo says. “And a lot of people are mixing both, with gray used on an island or for lower cabinets, and white as upper cabinets. It’s a trend that shows no sign of slowing down.”

“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.”

Free Stuff!
Here’s how NEFD takes your 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 drawerpulls – free
  • Design service – free
  • Design to take with you without a commitment – free
  • Upgrade to all-wood construction, solid maple dovetail drawers, steel under mount 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 or any of the other below-retail goodies the store sells, you can do that, instead, and pay for your kitchen over time.
