About Corsam Design & Refinishings

Corsam Design and Refinishings is a Huntsville, Alabama shop that combines furniture repair and reupholstery under one roof, making it a practical stop for pieces that need structural work alongside new fabric. Huntsville's booming population, driven by the aerospace and defense industries around Redstone Arsenal and the Cummings Research Park, has brought a wave of new residents who are furnishing homes and often bringing quality furniture from out of state. The shop's name points to a design sensibility that goes beyond basic repair, suggesting they care about how a finished piece looks, not just whether it holds together.

Services & Process

Corsam handles both furniture repair and reupholstery, which is a meaningful combination. Repair work covers fixing broken frames, re-gluing joints, replacing legs or hardware, and reinforcing spring systems before any fabric work begins. Reupholstery then layers onto that foundation, covering the restored frame with new fabric, foam, and finishing details. This dual capability means you don't have to visit two different shops when a piece needs both structural and cosmetic attention. Antique and heirloom pieces are natural fits for this kind of full-service approach.

Service Area

Corsam Design and Refinishings serves Huntsville and the surrounding Madison County area, including Madison, Harvest, and Meridianville. The shop is also accessible to customers from Decatur and Athens to the west. With Huntsville's continued growth, the shop is positioned well to serve both established neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions spreading across the county.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Corsam repair a broken furniture frame before reupholstering it?
Yes, that's one of the advantages of working with a shop that handles both repair and reupholstery. Getting the frame solid before putting new fabric on it ensures the upholstery work lasts and the piece is safe to use every day.
What kinds of furniture repairs are most common in Huntsville shops?
Loose or broken joints on chairs and sofas are the most frequent repairs, followed by broken legs, sagging spring systems, and damaged wood veneer. Huntsville's older neighborhoods have plenty of mid-century and antique pieces that need this kind of attention.
Can I get a refinished wood frame and new upholstery done together?
A shop that handles both services, like Corsam, can coordinate a wood refinish and fabric replacement in a single project. This is especially useful for chairs with exposed wood arms or legs where the finish has faded or chipped.
How do I choose a fabric that works with my Huntsville home's decor?
Think about the room's color palette, the amount of natural light, and how much use the piece gets. A shop with design experience can help you narrow options down based on durability, texture, and visual weight rather than just picking something that looks good on a swatch.
Is furniture restoration worth it for pieces I inherited or moved from out of state?
Heirloom and high-quality vintage pieces are almost always worth restoring if the frame is structurally sound. The cost of reupholstery and refinishing is typically far less than replacing a piece of comparable quality, and you keep something with personal or historical value.
How long does a combined repair and reupholstery project take?
A project that includes both structural repair and reupholstery takes longer than a simple fabric swap, typically three to five weeks depending on the scope of the repair and the shop's current workload. Complex antique restorations can take longer if specialty parts or materials need to be sourced.
