​Vasyl Kostiuk moved to the United States from Ukraine at the young age of 20. Vasyl moved to Chicago, Illinois and immediately started working at a grocery store in the suburbs. 17 years later Vasyl owns and operates several profitable companies including Hail Professionals and Harmony Domes based in Denver, CO. His companies employ dozens of employees and have allowed him to donate tens of thousands of dollars to charity including several Ukrainian charities.
Early in Vasyl’s career he started working at a grocery store in the suburbs of Chicago. He wanted more responsibility and the opportunity to make more money so he quickly moved jobs becoming a furniture maker. Working 12-14 hours a day it was easy to see Vasyl was a very hard worker with aspirations of owning his own successful business. He worked for three months making furniture and then moved into another skilled trade of Paintless Dent Repair.

Paintless Dent Repair is the process of removing dents manually without replacing parts or having to paint your vehicle after damage from hail or door dings. Paintless Dent Repair or PDR is like a fine art that takes patience and practice sometimes taking years to master. Vasyl started as a vehicle technician and quickly became an expert at dent repair. Eager to learn more, he began to work on more than just his auto technician skills, he learned marketing, team management, customer sales and service, accounting and even some business management skills. Vasyl took his learned PDR skills and started his own auto hail dent repair business in Chicago, Illinois in 2011 which grew quickly and moved its headquarters to Denver, Colorado in 2015. Vasyl’s company, Hail Professionals, currently employs over a dozen technicians, sales, marketing and business professionals. Hail Professionals has served customers in several states such as Illinois, Colorado, Iowa, Alabama, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Minnesota and major cities Chicago, Denver, Oklahoma City and Minneapolis. Over the past eight years Hail Professionals nearly perfect Google ratings are filled with satisfied customers that leave 5-star glowing reviews. Hail Professionals team’s dedication to restoring damaged vehicles to like new quality has earned Vasyl one of the most respected auto hail damage reputations in the industry.

“Thousands of cars, trucks and SUVs are damaged every year, the key to a successful PDR business is to really communicate with the owner of each vehicle. Hail Professionals faces a lot of competitors in the hail repair industry. Auto hail damage customers have the option to choose any hail repair facility they want so you have five to ten minutes at best to explain why they should trust us with their vehicle. Honesty with our customers is the main reason that they choose Hail Professionals for their vehicle, leave such positive reviews and recommend us to their friends and family.”

While successfully owning and managing Hail Professionals to one of the top hail repair companies in the nation, Vasyl started planning for his next business. In November, 2020 Vasyl assembled a small planning team to begin the business creation for a geodesic dome company. He watched the “glamping” industry very closely and noted that there was a significant shortage of properties across the world and in the United States and Canada too. There was such a shortage that the few glamping sites that did exist were booking as high as $600-700 per night and those locations were nearly 100% booked for the next 1-2 years. Kostiuk knew that not only could his product be used for glamping, but also for housing, greenhouses, offices, etc and at a fraction of the cost of a cabin or a comparable structure.

Eleven months after his first dome meeting Vasyl had assembled a manufacturing team in Europe and had his first shipment of domes delivered to his new beautiful showroom located just north of downtown Denver, Colorado. The company, Harmony Domes has sold and rented over 300 domes over the past two and a half years. Vasyl’s works with customers looking for a single dome and with customers who want to create their own glamping site(s) anywhere in the world.

Kostiuk’s new company has three main goals. First, it is very important to Vasyl that the manufacturing of his Harmony Domes are manufactured in Europe today and in the future providing jobs European and American citizens and because they are superior quality to other domes in the industry. Second, creating a price friendly alternative to a cabin, yurt or tent for unlimited customer applications. Harmony Domes can customize domes to any combination of size, color and interior that you can think of. The domes can also be connected to form community domes or just one big living area with private space. Harmony Domes can be customized to use as homes, offices, greenhouses, corporate event domes, corporate or private hospitality centers and especially for glamping facilities for one couple or hundreds of units. Third, geodesic domes have a minimum impact on the environment. Dome structures can be assembled in days with very little change to the area they are built on. The structures are strong and because of their shape can withstand heavy wind and snow loads. The interiors take very little effort to heat when properly insulated providing minimal impact on the environment and the domes can be customized with solar power and compost bathrooms. If taken proper care of, geodesic domes can and should last decades. They also come in several colors so you can adjust your dome’s color to match the environment.
