About A & B Carpet One Floor & Home in Buxton, NC

Welcome to A & B Carpet One Floor & Home in beautiful Buxton, NC, where flooring meets craftsmanship, and community meets care. For nearly 50 years, we’ve been proud to serve the Outer Banks with high-quality flooring, exceptional service, and a personal touch that only a family-owned business can provide.

Our Story

A & B Carpet One began in 1974 when Frank Adams and Tommy Barnes envisioned bringing quality flooring and personalized service to their neighbors in the Outer Banks. Over the decades, we’ve grown and evolved, always staying true to our mission. Since transitioning ownership in 2014, we’ve honored that legacy by blending our deep local roots with innovative solutions. Today, we operate two showrooms in Buxton and Kitty Hawk, offering the perfect pairing of traditional service and modern expertise.

More Than Flooring

At A & B Carpet One Floor & Home, we’re committed to helping homeowners, second homeowners, and vacation rental property owners craft spaces that feel functional and beautiful. Partnering with the Carpet One Floor & Home cooperative allows us to provide industry-leading warranties, exclusive brands, and competitive pricing while maintaining the small-town service we’re known for. From waterproof flooring for coastal living to luxurious carpets designed for ultimate comfort, we pride ourselves on understanding your unique needs.

Our local customers are loyal and vocal about their shopping experience. Here's just what one happy customer had to say about her visit to our Buxton store: 

"I have used A&B for many years with various projects. They know their products - how they perform, what to expect from them, and what will work in a particular space. Most recently, we replaced the old floor that had been destroyed by flooding with vinyl plank. The installation was excellent. It looks wonderful. And it is holding up very well." - Gail K.
