Thanks guys that's info I was looking for.

And it wouldn't be all that hard to get a wire back into that area from
the wiring closet.

Seconded.

Wireless Repeaters are a hack at best. They are meant for home
environments, where cabling cost is a big issue.

In an Office environment, i'd suggest you to hire a company that does
professional wireless deployments. They have the appropriate gear to
measure where your APs need to be for full coverage.

Also: Purchase a centrally managed wireless solution. I'm fond of
Cisco's Wireless controllers and their LWAPPs. With this, you can
centrally manage your wireless LAN, which makes it much easier to
debug issues.
