Chuluota is home for us, and that changes how we work. Walter Ruf has been serving this rural corner of Seminole County for 13 years, and Alpine Home Services was built right here around Lake Pickett and the Econlockhatchee River. Out here the lots run big, the oak canopy runs thick, and the Spanish moss drips over gravel driveways and horse pastures alike. That canopy is beautiful, but it also means shaded roofs and siding that never fully dry out, so algae, mold, and black streaking show up faster than they do in the open subdivisions closer to Orlando. Add in central Florida heat, thick summer humidity, and a heavy spring pollen season, and Chuluota properties take a real beating. We know which roads flood after a summer storm, which neighborhoods still run on well water and septic, and how hard water and organic buildup change the way a house needs to be cleaned. When you call Alpine Home Services, you are calling a neighbor who has been driving these same dirt and paved roads for over a decade.
