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 down his stores and retire. Dezfooli, who had believed he would one day run the family business, was despondent.
“By the time I turned 18, everything was starting to fall apart, the market was in ruins, many accounts defaulted, and my dream was taken from me,” he remembers.
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.” Discover even more info on https://www.inc.com/synchrony/built-from-the-ground-floor-up.html.
Several recommendations regarding flooring materials
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.
Advances in flooring materials have broadened options at a range of prices. For example, today’s porcelain tile can closely mimic the look and texture of wood, though it’s far more durable. High-end vinyl planks can imitate tropical woods like koa, mango, and teak, or wide, hand-hewn hardwood boards. Sustainable flooring options include linoleum, bamboo, hempwood, cork, and even cement tiles made with carbon recovered from factory emissions. Among solid hardwoods, domestic species like white oak, red oak, walnut, and maple are growing in popularity. “We’re also seeing wider products and longer lengths,” he says. “The average hardwood plank is now 7 to 7½ inches wide.”
