About Hara’s Vinyl Windows
The Willamette Valley’s hometown window company for more than three decades
We provide a complete range of windows, doors and installation services, backed by a reputation for quality products and a team of dedicated industry specialists who’ve been with us for years.
Our story
Started in 1992 by Mike Weaver, still run by him today
Owner Mike Weaver founded Hara’s Vinyl Windows in Salem in 1992. From day one, the goal was simple: sell good windows at a fair price, install them with care, and stand behind the work. That approach has carried us through more than three decades of Willamette Valley homes, from 1950s ranches with original single-pane wood windows to manufactured homes to brand-new additions.
We’re still a local, owner-operated business. When you call, you talk to our office in Salem. When you get an estimate, it’s usually Mike himself who comes out, measures and walks you through your options. And when your windows go in, it’s our own crew doing the work.
A lot of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals. Some homeowners have hired us twice, 20 and 25 years apart. We think that says more than any ad could.
We’ve stayed focused on the same few things the whole time: vinyl replacement windows, patio doors and entry and storm doors. We sell a small set of brands we know well, and our own people install everything.
“We used Hara's over 25 yrs ago for new windows and wanted an updated look… Quality and professional workmanship and installation.”Rosanna R., Facebook review
Our people
What makes our crew different
A window is only as good as its installation. That’s why we’ve never handed our jobs off to subcontractors.
Long-time employees
Our installers have been with Hara’s for 10 to 20 years. They know our products, our standards, and the quirks of older Salem homes.
Paid hourly, not per window
Because our crew isn’t paid by the job, there’s no reason to rush. They take pride in their workmanship and do the finish work right.
Every install is ours
All of our installations are done by Hara’s staff, never subcontracted. One company is responsible from the first measurement to the final cleanup.

In their words
What customers say about our team
The whole process with Hara’s is 5 stars. From Donna at the office, to Mike and the crew. The crew were on time, on task, and left each area spotless during install of our 11 new windows. Mike even fixed a few things around our house at no extra charge. With so many companies out there looking to take advantage, Hara’s is the one you hope to run into for great overall service. What a pleasant experience!
I just had my house outfitted with new vinyl windows and they did an amazing job and at an amazing price! Me and my wife had 3 other places come out and bid replacing my windows and Hara's were almost 1/2 their prices. Mike and his crew Jason and Fidel couldn't of been more professional and courteous and efficient. They made it so easy! I would recommend anyone to give them a call and have Mike come out and go over the many options and you will be surprised. We even added a garden window and were very amazed at what little added cost to the project it was. Thanks guys for a job well done !
I'm am thoroughly impressed by Mike and his crew. My windows are amazing. In less than a day I can tell the difference in the temperature of my home. The crew was extremely efficient and completed the job in just under two days. They cleaned up after themselves and were very friendly folks. I highly recommend Haras Vinyl Windows.
