FWIW, from what you describe you will need/want someone who knows what they are doing in wifi/RF design and not just a "hooker-upper".

Wifi generally does not go well with "repeaters", and you can quickly cut your effective bandwidth down to a trickle if you start throwing repeaters all around.

The Ubiquiti stuff mentioned above is great equipment, I too use it frequently and it's amazingly solid for the price.

My personal guess is that you probably need to more or less start from scratch and you're looking at about $700 worth of equipment and a day or two of time to get everything properly setup and configured. Roughly a $1500-$2000 total job to do it right.
