Our Story
The story of Excello Garage Door Systems began in 1978 with Lee Weber, a California salesman working for Interstate Bakeries, who was captivated by Idaho during a visit to the Treasure Valley to see his sister and brother-in-law. While visiting Boise, Lee realized he didn’t want to return to California. With the help of his brother-in-law, a real estate professional, Lee began exploring turnkey business opportunities in the area. He soon discovered a small overhead door company for sale. After finalizing the purchase, Lee moved his wife, Donna, and their two young sons, Michael and Mark, to Boise to begin a new chapter.
A Legacy of Excellence
Lee’s vision was to create a local garage door company founded on quality, trust, and strong relationships. The company’s name, “Ex-Cello,” reflected his mission of delivering “excellent service.” From the outset, Lee emphasized building long-term partnerships with top contractors and builders, focusing on quality materials and reliable solutions. This commitment set Excello Garage Door Systems apart, earning it a reputation for excellence that continues today.
Behind the scenes, Donna Weber played a pivotal role in Excello Garage Door Systems’ success. She managed operations and administration, enabling Lee to concentrate on business growth and client relations. Together, they built a company that was not only known for exceptional service but also rooted in family values and a deep connection to the local community.
A Weber Family Endeavor
Michael and Mark joined the family business as teenagers, learning the ropes from the ground up. They began by working in the shop and progressed to garage door installation. Michael eventually took over the residential service department, and Mark specialized in crafting custom doors for large projects, including Tamarack Resort.
Today, Lee, Donna, and Michael have retired, but the family legacy continues with Mark at the helm. He oversees day-to-day operations alongside husband and wife duo Cassandra Rios, General Manager, and Antonio Rios, Commercial Door Division Lead and third-generation family member. Excello Garage Door Systems now employs more than a dozen staff and door technicians who continue to uphold Lee Weber’s tradition of integrity, innovation, and service.
Trials and Adversity
Excello Garage Door Systems has weathered significant challenges over the years, including double-digit interest rates in the 1980s and the 2008 global financial crisis that heavily impacted the housing industry. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company took proactive steps to support its customers by tripling its inventory of quality garage door brands, motors, and parts, ensuring it could meet service demands even in those challenging times when door manufacturing had all but stopped.
