Verified record
Outside Cleaners LLC is a small, owner-operated exterior cleaning business based in Brewster, run by Nate Church with his wife Leah Church handling scheduling and customer contact since 2014; the couple's son Alex also works in the field. Nate started the company in 2012, after moving to Cape Cod in 2010, and the business states it takes on no subcontractors — every job is done by Nate and his family directly. The company specializes in washing roofs, siding, decks, fences, gutters, and hardscapes, with a particular focus on cedar shingles and clapboard, a material reviewers say Nate treats with unusual care. Several homeowners describe him using a gentler soft-wash process rather than relying on brute pressure, a distinction multiple reviews credit with protecting old or delicate wood surfaces. One homeowner with 50-year-old, never-cleaned clapboard siding said the results exceeded their limited expectations. The record is unusually consistent: 35 Google and BBB reviews dating back to 2021 are all five stars, and several describe hiring Nate again years later for repeat maintenance rather than a one-off job. One homeowner recounts Nate inspecting their roof and advising them to skip an expensive cleaning rather than upsell the work, and reviewers repeatedly name both Nate and Leah as responsive, on time, and easy to reach. A 2025 review describes a large single-day job covering four decks, a garage apron, dozens of pieces of outdoor furniture, and roof and siding work. BBB lists the business as A+ graded, though not BBB-accredited, and confirms the Brewster address and a 2012 start date. Worth asking about before booking: the business is upfront that exterior cleaning is unlicensed, unregulated work in Massachusetts, so there is no state credential backing the trade itself — though the state registry does show an expired Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration (HIC 173238) filed under this exact business name, worth a quick question about its current status. Reviewers also mention that the small, no-subcontractor team can mean a seasonal booking wait during busy months. For homeowners on the Cape's mid-section — Eastham through Dennis — looking for someone experienced with cedar and other delicate exterior surfaces, the track record here is deep and consistent across five years. Confirm current insurance and licensing status directly, and expect to book ahead during peak season.
Nate and Outside Cleaners are the best. Went above and beyond. Highly recommend.
Honest, professional, and truly looking out for the homeowner’s best interest. Nate took the time to inspect my roof and could have easily recommended an expensive cleaning service, but instead gave me a straightforward assessment and advised me to save my money. That level of integrity is hard to find. I really appreciated his honesty, responsiveness, and willingness to provide helpful guidance even when it meant not getting the job. I would absolutely recommend Nate and Outside Cleaners to anyone looking for trustworthy advice and quality service.
Nate, the owner of Outside Cleaners is a joy to work with. We met last fall and he explained why cleaning the cedar shingles and roof is important. This spring he did the work and when we arrived back home we were absolutely amazed at how our house looked. All the grime was gone not only on the cedar shingles and aluminum siding but on the gutters, house trim, and inside and outside the outdoor shower. Our house looks brand new! He also doesn't recommend you do this cleaning more than 1 or 2 times for the life of the shingles. We are considering some maintenance treatments to keep the house looking great. You have to book well in advance and Nate works with the homeowner (and weather) to find a suitable day to do the work. We recommend him highly!
My house has 50 year old clapboard siding that had never been cleaned. I thought I’d try the Soft Wash solution but I had limited expectations because of the age/condition of the siding. I was amazed at the result! This process brightened the whole appearance of the clapboards. Nate did an excellent job at a fair price. I also had him address an area of the roof that was becoming mossy. I enthusiastically recommend Outside Services/Nate Church and the Soft Wash process.
Nate is the absolute best!! He has been coming here for years and keeps the house looking brand new!! He knows his stuff too and doesn’t just use the caustic chemicals that ruin your house. Nate is also just the nicest guy! I could not recommend him more highly!!!
