# Outside Cleaners LLC **Trade:** Specialty Services · **Address:** 3844 Main St, Brewster, MA 02631 · **Phone:** (508) 209-1972 · **Website:** http://www.outsidecleaners.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.6/5** (high confidence) — from 35 reviews across 5 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 4 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - Cedar expertise — reviewers repeatedly praise his knowledge of cedar shingles and siding - Soft-wash technique — customers cite gentler methods that avoid damaging wood - Responsive scheduling — reviewers describe quick callbacks and site visits within days - Repeat customers — several reviewers describe using him again over multiple years - Honest advice — one reviewer says he advised against an unnecessary cleaning - Family-run team — Nate and office manager Leah repeatedly named as easy to work with **Concerns:** - Expired HIC registration — MA HIC 173238 under this business name shows expired status - Booking lead time — reviewers note a seasonal wait given high demand **Where sources disagree:** - The business's own FAQ states exterior cleaning is unlicensed/unregulated in Massachusetts and that no license exists for the trade, while the state registry shows an HIC license (173238) under this exact entity name that is now expired. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Owner-operated family business run by Nate Church with his wife Leah Church (office manager, joined 2014) and son Alex, based at 3844 Main St, Brewster. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.outsidecleaners.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Owner-operated family business: Nate Church (owner/operator), his wife Leah Church (joined 2014), and their son A…” - [Official Website](http://www.outsidecleaners.com) — “Stated ownership (self-reported): Family-owned” - Operating since 2012, after owner Nate Church moved to Cape Cod in 2010. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.outsidecleaners.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Owner Nate Church moved to Cape Cod in 2010 and started the business, which the site says has been operatin…” - States it serves Eastham, Orleans, Brewster, Harwich, Chatham, and Dennis for routine exterior cleaning. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.outsidecleaners.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Eastham, Orleans, Brewster, Harwich, Chatham, Dennis” - Reviewers repeatedly single out expertise cleaning cedar shingle and clapboard siding without damaging the wood. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2w5WGNVZDZUbEpVYVZaUlN6VjFhWE5rYkdOaU9WRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xdce8f5d99a6a101e!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOl9XcUd6TlJUaVZRSzV1aXNkbGNiOVE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ My house has 50 year old clapboard siding that had never been cleaned.
