Newberg, Oregon, is a charming city located about 25 miles southwest of Portland in the heart of the Willamette Valley, known as the gateway to Oregon wine country. Surrounded by undeniable beauty, it offers scenic views and a thriving wine scene with over 100 wineries in the area. We’ve proudly painted for many of the area’s top wineries, including Domaine Drouhin, Archery Summit, Alexana, Lange Winery, and Native Flora—capturing the essence of Newberg’s vibrant and authentic wine culture.

Challenges: Weathered and Worn Wood Railings

Like many wineries in Oregon’s wine country, Native Flora’s exterior wood features face constant exposure to the elements. Over time, handrails began to show visible signs of aging—faded color, chipped coatings, and UV wear. The original clear coat had deteriorated, leaving the wood unprotected and vulnerable to moisture damage.

Our Solution: Step-by-Step Wood Refinishing Process

To deliver a lasting, polished result, we followed a professional multi-step restoration approach:

Removed half of the wooden railings at a time and transported them to our workshop
Stripped off all previous sealant to expose clean, bare wood
Sanded thoroughly to smooth roughness and repair chips
Applied three coats of a chemically-cured aliphatic polyurethane coating to all surfaces, including top, bottom, & sides

Results of Native Flora Wood Restoration

The client, a repeat customer, was delighted with the transformation of the wood, praising the stunning improvement in both appearance and durability. The refinished wood handrails now showcase a smooth, polished finish that beautifully highlights the natural grain while offering enhanced protection against the elements. The restoration exceeded expectations, leaving the wood looking refreshed and well-protected for years to come—reflecting the exceptional quality and attention to detail that Smith & Company Painting consistently delivers.
