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 arrived in the late 2000s, his father had no choice but to close down 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 companies 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.” Read even more details at https://www.inc.com/synchrony/built-from-the-ground-floor-up.html.

Here are a few tips and tricks on flooring materials

Where Will the Flooring Be Installed? The type of flooring you choose will be determined in part by where you plan to install it, and over what type of surface. Solid wood flooring, for example, cannot be installed directly over concrete and is a poor choice for humid areas such as basements and baths. Ceramic or porcelain tile requires a stiff, flat surface underneath to prevent cracking. How Will the Floor Be Installed?Different types of flooring are installed in different ways, some of which are DIY-friendly. For example, “floating” floors—typically laminate—consist of interlocking floorboards that use no adhesives; this easy-to-install design is popular with DIYers. But ceramic or porcelain tile is bound to the subfloor with thinset, and the gaps between the tiles are filled with grout. Solid wood flooring is typically nailed down or glued. Installation of either is better left to professionals.

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.
