Glas Associates is a family-owned and operated business with strong roots in the Kalamazoo community. Founded in 1960 by Joe Glas, his son, Charlie, is the current President of the company. Glas Associates has grown to over thirty employees, including an architect, an engineer, and an interior designer on staff. Combined, our team has hundreds of years of experience in custom home building and architectural design.
