Meelad Dezfooli didn’t let anything stop him from his dream career. While still in grade school, Dezfooli began working at his father’s family business flooring store.
Sadly, when the recession arrived in the late 2000s, his father had no choice but to close his stores and retire. Dezfooli, who had assumed he would one day take over the family business, was despondent.
“By the time I turned 18, everything was starting to break apart, the market was in ruins, many accounts defaulted, and my dream was taken from me,” he recalls.
Forced to switch gears, Dezfooli opened a Persian restaurant. Even though he found some success, he still desperately missed the flooring business. “I realized I loved the industry and the people around me,” he says. “I was nostalgic for the culture, the employees.”
Over the next five years, Dezfooli worked over 12 hours a day, seven days a week, doing anything to save the money needed to start his own flooring company. The endless, grueling hours paid off. By 2015, he was back in the flooring business, founding Best Buy Flooring in Henderson, Nevada. The business has flourished and expanded to multiple locations.
Now that he’s the owner of a highly successful business, Dezfooli shows his gratitude by helping local heroes. He offers generous discounts to veterans, police officers, and other service people.
“After what they’ve done for our country, it’s my honor to give them a better price,” he says. Not one to forget his roots, Dezfooli made a point of hiring several of his father’s former employees, some of whom came from troubled backgrounds.
“He had employees who may have had a small [police] record, but they were some of the best people,” he notes. “My father always taught me to give people a second chance. And I know as much as anyone the blessings of a second chance.” See even more details on https://www.inc.com/synchrony/built-from-the-ground-floor-up.html.
A few tips and tricks on flooring design
Will the Flooring I Choose Need an Underlayment? Underlayment materials include foam, cork, rubber, felt, and specialized soundproofing mats. The different function that each type performs will affect your choice—as will the type of flooring you’ve chosen and the existing subfloor. “If you’re installing hardwood flooring over a concrete subfloor, use an underlayment that offers moisture protection, Similarly, if you’re installing laminate or engineered flooring over an uneven subfloor, consider an underlayment that provides additional cushioning and helps to even out the surface.” Some luxury vinyl floors in CR’s ratings have thin foam pads attached to their bottom surfaces, replacing the underlayment. Thicker underlayments generally are more expensive.
Solid Wood Flooring – Pros: Wood has a natural warmth and impressive wear resistance, and it can be sanded and refinished several times. Prefinished floors install more quickly and skip the dust, fumes, and drying time required for wood floors finished on site. Factory finishes also tend to hold up longer. Cons: Solid wood will expand and contract with varying humidity levels and can dent easily. Prefinished flooring may collect dirt between boards. Some wood flooring can become discolored by sunlight. Solid wood flooring is not a good choice for basements and other damp spaces.
