Who we are
Thousands of Home Owners and Contractors have gotten Discounts
Universal Factory Direct has designed thousands of projects, and more than 38% of those customers came to us through referrals from customers, family and friends. No matter how big or small the job, every customer shares the same goal: the greatest value for their investment and the best quality products.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" for cabinets. We help you learn about the construction, features, new technology and styles available, with your budget and personal needs front and center, so you get the WOW factor you want, with YOUR budget in mind. Start with kitchen cabinets, or explore bathroom vanities, outdoor kitchens and closet systems.

Meet Joe
Joe Grushkin, CEO & President
Joe has been an entrepreneur for over 40 years across many industries. After living all over the USA and Ontario, Canada, he spent 30 years in Westport, CT, where he raised his three daughters, before semi-retiring to Florida in 2018. He has "retired" several times, and each time boredom set in, he found another opportunity. He is a people person: friendly, high-integrity, quick to laugh, and determined to see people get the best quality at the lowest price.
In 2023 he saw how Florida cabinetry companies and contractors were overcharging customers, especially newcomers to the area. Joe teamed up with a long-time friend in the business since 1998, gaining access to the same manufacturers, vendors and volume pricing, and Universal Factory Direct of Palm Beach County was born.
Joe invites you to meet, virtually or in person, to share your vision for your home. Every customer gets his personal attention, ideas and hands-on, low-key service.
Our savings
We save you money in 4 ways
- You control installation costs. When a cabinet seller installs, you often pay the installer's time plus a markup. You can use your own contractor, or we will refer proven installers at competitive rates.
- Low overhead. We work virtually and ship directly from the manufacturer, with no costly retail space, so our savings go to you. Big-box stores use high-profit items like cabinets to cover their overhead.
- Buying power. Long-term relationships with top manufacturers let us beat boutique dealers and big-box stores by 30% to 60%. See the brands on our styles, colors and brands page.
- Service, service, service. You get a local cell number and email to reach us throughout the entire process. Time is money.
We focus on one thing and do it right: top quality cabinets at incredibly low prices. Customers regularly bring us $15,000 quotes and get the same kitchen from us for about $7,200.
What this means for you
A straightforward process from day one
Every conversation at Universal Factory Direct starts the same way: we ask what you actually want your kitchen, bathroom or closet to accomplish for your household, not which package fits a standard template. That question shapes which cabinet line we recommend, how we sequence a project if you are tackling more than one room at once, and how openly we talk through pricing before you ever sign anything.
We also try to keep communication simple. You get a direct line to Joe (the owner) throughout your project, from your first conversation about kitchen cabinets through delivery and installation, rather than being passed between departments. All emails and texts are saved to ensure nothing is forgotten or overlooked. If a question comes up mid-project, you connect with Joe, not a new voice each time you call.
Locally owned
Quality you can see and feel, Excellent service that shows.
We are locally owned by someone who lives, works and plays in Palm Beach County, and doing business locally fuels the local economy.
We meet by Zoom or in person with samples, so you can feel the construction and compare door styles. We show manufacturer literature so you know who made your cabinets and who guarantees them, unlike "exclusive line" discounters.
With a 5-star Google rating and cabinets from quick-ship to framed cabinets to Euro-style frameless, we are confident we can help you too. We serve homeowners across the county and beyond; contractors get the same level of service as our residential customers. See our areas we serve, browse the cabinet gallery, or read our FAQ.
