When you're diving into your next home project—whether it's a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, or a full remodel—where you shop can make a huge difference. Sure, the big box chains might be convenient, but nothing compares to the service, expertise, and community connection you'll find at a family-owned business like Abbott Paint & Carpet.
With locations in St. Paul, Stillwater, and White Bear Lake, Abbott Paint & Carpet has been proudly serving the Twin Cities area for 80 years. Here's why choosing us over a big box store isn’t just a good idea—it’s the better one.
1. Expertise You Can Trust
At Abbott, we don’t just sell paint, carpet and window treatments—we live and breathe home improvement. Our staff brings decades of experience and deep product knowledge to every customer interaction. Whether you're a DIY novice or a seasoned contractor, we take the time to understand your project and guide you to the right solutions—no guesswork required.
Unlike national chains where employee expertise can vary, our team members are long-time professionals who know our products and our communities inside and out.
The Abbott brothers have a combined 170 years of experience!
2. You're Supporting Local Minnesota Families
When you shop at Abbott Paint & Carpet, you’re not supporting a distant corporate office—you’re investing in your neighbors. As a family-owned, Minnesota-grown business, your dollars stay right here in our community, supporting local jobs, families, and services.
We’re proud to have been born and raised in St. Paul, and we specifically chose each store location with thoughtful precision. We love these communities, we love our customers and we hope to touch each house in some meaningful way!
3. Thoughtfully Curated Products for Local Homes
We don’t stock just anything—we stock what works best for our Minnesota customers. From paints that withstand our dramatic seasons to flooring that holds up to salt and snow, our inventory is chosen with care.
And if you need something we don’t have on hand? We’ll go the extra mile to track the right product down for you.
4. Real Relationships, Not Just Transactions
At Abbott, you’re not just a customer. You’re a neighbor, a friend, and someone we genuinely care about helping. That’s why our customer service is personal, not corporate. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, we aim to provide the same level of attention, kindness, and expert guidance every single time.
Many of our customers have been with us for years—even decades—and we’re honored to have earned that trust.

Our stores in St. Paul, Stillwater, and White Bear Lake are easy to navigate and a pleasure to shop in. You won’t have to fight for parking or wander endless aisles. Just real people, ready to help you find what you need and get you back to your project quickly—with confidence.
