Meelad Dezfooli didn’t let anything stop him from his dream career. While still in grade school, Dezfooli started working at his father’s local flooring store.
Sadly, when the recession hit 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 break apart, the market was in ruins, many firms 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.” See extra details on https://www.inc.com/synchrony/built-from-the-ground-floor-up.html.
A few advices on flooring styles
Vinyl Flooring – Pros: Vinyl flooring is especially good at fending off wear, dents, scratches, discoloration from sunlight, and stains. It’s also waterproof, so it’s a great alternative to tile in wet rooms such as baths and kitchens, where it provides a forgiving surface underfoot. This flooring type comes in two main varieties: traditional vinyl and luxury vinyl flooring (LVF). Both are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), but LVF is thicker and more rigid, and it typically has more protective top layers. Regular vinyl comes in rolls and is glued in place; LVF typically comes in tiles or planks that click together for easy installation. Higher quality LVF can do a good job of mimicking the look of stone, tile, or wood.
When choosing new flooring for your home, remember that each type—from hardwood to vinyl—has its place. Porcelain tile suits rooms where things get busy, wet, and messy, like entries, mudrooms, playrooms, and baths. Solid hardwood and engineered wood floors add warmth and “give” to hangout and lounging areas, such as bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and dens. Laminate floors, which can mimic the look and properties of many materials, can work almost anywhere—as long as you like the look.
