There are repeaters sold for the purpose--they don't work very well

Google "cellular repeater" and you'll find a number of brands.

I just love when people spout opinion as fact.

I worked for a corporate cellular store. We installed one in our
office, and installed a number at our customers sites. All worked
flawlessly for at least the 7+ years I worked there, and as far as I
know, are still going strong (I haven't worked there in 5+ years, so
do the math).

I work at a number of locations that have them installed and they work
fine including the original installation of a similar age that you
mentioned.

My experiences were also very favorable which is why I originally
recommended the repeater approach. Those of us who are ham radio
operators have used repeaters for decades with huge success to extend
the range of little walky-talky pocket radios.

Agreed, they work, but the price will make OP cry. We priced one for use
in a metal-skinned warehouse, and they STARTED around $700 for the
entry-level model. Has OP ever thought of just using a Real Telephone at
home?
