Lincoln Garage Door Owners Win State Honor

Cameron and Sydney Hall, the co-owners of Doors Plus in Lincoln, have been named Nebraska’s 2026 Small Business Persons of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration. (sba.gov) The Nebraska honor is part of the Small Business Administration’s National Small Business Week awards, which the agency announced March 27. The national ceremony is scheduled for May 3 in Washington, with Small Business Week running May 3 through May 9. (sba.gov) The Small Business Administration’s award list identifies Doors Plus LLC of Lincoln as Nebraska’s state winner and names Cameron Hall and Sydney Hall as the owners. (sba.gov) Doors Plus is a garage door and overhead door company that serves residential and commercial customers from an office at 420 W. A St., Suite 200, in Lincoln. The company says it installs, repairs and maintains garage doors and access systems. (doorsplusllc.com) State Small Business Person of the Year awards are one of the Small Business Administration’s annual ways of spotlighting local companies before it chooses a national winner. The agency says it has marked National Small Business Week for more than 60 years, and it has named a national Small Business Person of the Year since 1971. (sba.gov, sba.gov) For a young company, the timing stands out. Nebraska records show Doors Plus filed as a domestic limited liability company on Dec. 13, 2022, putting the business roughly three years into operation when the 2026 award was announced. (bizapedia.com) The business has also been building a commercial footprint beyond household garage-door calls. Procore, a construction industry platform, lists Doors Plus as a Lincoln specialty contractor in doors and frames serving commercial, industrial, infrastructure and residential sectors across Nebraska and nearby states. (procore.com) The award does not automatically grant contracts, but Small Business Administration recognition can raise a firm’s profile with lenders, customers and public-sector buyers who screen for experience and business credentials. Nebraska’s Small Business Administration district office regularly uses the awards to showcase firms it sees as growth examples in the state. (sba.gov, unomaha.edu) For Doors Plus, the next public milestone is May 3 in Washington, when Nebraska’s winners will be recognized alongside honorees from all 50 states and U.S. territories.
