“PETE’S CHARACTER IS EQUAL PARTS HUMOR, PROGRESSIVE THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS”– LOIS MAFFEO

about us

Bicycle Homebuilding is a small, residential construction company based in Olympia, WA. We have been building energy-efficient homes with environmentally-friendly materials and methods for over 20 years. Owner Pete Chramiec employs best practices and climate-specific strategies to build high-performing, durable, and beautiful structures that need minimal maintenance over the course of their lifetimes. 

Pete Chramiec was born in Newport, Rhode Island, a long time ago. He spent his childhood sneaking small sailboats into the Atlantic Ocean without telling his parents. As a teenager, he joined a band and went on some tours, which led to him being in Berlin in 1989 on the very day the Berlin Wall came down, a fact that he doesn't let anyone forget. 1989 ended up becoming his best year, as he was voted guitar player of the year in the unread Flipside Magazine (a xeroxed copy of which he posts next to our report cards on the fridge every year). He later lived in Washington DC, but it was too muggy (weather-wise and also getting-mugged-wise), so he moved to the better Washington: Washington State. There, he studied Organic Farming, but couldn't grow things good. He luckily met his wife and, more importantly, had two very cool daughters (one of which he forced into making this website for him). Now, he lives in Olympia with his family, along with his two cats, one dog, and eight chickens. As you can tell, he is very into these animals. Some of his skills include eating cookies (all of the cookies), losing at Cribbage, and building houses (maybe).
