Default Signal Amplifier Question

I have a weak AT&T cell signal because of poor proximity to cell tower, tall Pine Trees, cinder block construction, and topography. What cell signal extender components do you recommend for a 4 unit condominium with a flat roof?

Maybe you need a repeater. It's not cheap and will run you ~$700.

Pardon me, but, of course I need a repeater! I was hoping someone would be qualified to make some substantive recommendations (specific components for my situation, brand names, recommended companies to do business with, etc.). Let's get down to the nitty-gritty here and nail down some details. I would like to get on with an installation.

By the way, I did attach a photograph of my building to my first post and I don't see it on this website. Someone revised my post. What happened to my attachment?

I moved your post from the Welcome forum to this one to give it more visibility. I did not revise your post but did change the title to be more descriptive. I see the the photograph attached to your first post, so I am not sure what you mean by "What happened to my attachment".

Sorry for any confusion

Your attachment is indeed in your original post. As for recommendations I can't recommend a specific piece of equipment, but Wilson Electronics' repeaters are often recommended when people as about signal amplification. If you do a google search on Wilson Electronics repeaters you'll see several references including "repeater store." I've never dealt with these people personally but on most queries regarding improving signal mentions Wilson Electronics. In my original reply I said ~$700 but I see there are other things for less.
