Especially in already marginal areas, being inside a building, in particular one with a lot of metal construction can be the last straw causing you to get no signal.
There's no real remedy other then to maybe stand near a window or find a strong spot in your house. Although it won't cause any instant change, it might be worth calling Verizon so they know about the weak area.
As a rule, Verizon is still the best in the area. They have the most towers by far and they operate at a lower frequency then most of the other carriers. The lower frequency punches into buildings and anything else that blocks the signal better then a high frequency. See if anyone else can actually get a signal in your house. I'd bet most people will be lucky to hear their phone ring.
Good luck finding a solution, my house used to be a weak spot and I either had to run outside half naked or stand near a window as well. Eventually Verizon built a tower in the area.
