I have a customer needing to add six feet to their existing 25' HDMI cables. How best can they do this and will they have any quality issues?

Replace the cable if cost not an issue, you will lose a bit of quality due to the joining, how much, is hard to say.

Yeah, my problem is the 25' section runs under a floating floor that would take me two days to remove and put back down :(

Go ahead and join it; it is worth a try. Digital will either work or will not. I have connected two 10-foot HDMI cables and there was no visible loss.

I would use one of these rather than a simple coupler
