Nimble-fingered handymen Fausto Velasco and Eduardo Quintana bring 20 years of experience and strong core values to bear on household maladies. Armed with rollers, tool kits, and surgically implanted eagle eyes, the certified contractors scour houses for issues such as roof and stucco damage or electrical problems in panels and wiring, quickly repairing the home's illnesses before they worsen and start attracting vultures. Leaky roofs stop dripping after a healing hug from the staff, or Best Concept can lay siege to clogged pipes, renovate chipped concrete and brick, or eliminate creaks, cracks, and imperfections in windows and doors in a jiff. If fading paint graces your interior, Fausto and Eduardo will roll out a makeover by coating a 10'x12' room with two layers of newer, hipper color.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing Produce
There's no worse feeling than when you buy what you assume is perfectly ripe produce only to discover it's too hard or have it dissolve into a pile of ashes in your grocery bag. Here are some tips for filling your basket with ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables:
- Broccoli: Drag the vegetable florets-side-up across your arm. Each should be firm enough to rid your forearm of unwanted hair.
- Cherry: You'll have to tear through the tasteless, inedible outer layer to test the cherry's high-protein, peanut-like core. Once you expose the cherry nut, swallow it and rate the pain you feel as it gradually moves down your throat. If it's less than a seven, it's too ripe.
- Apple: Smell an apple. Does it smell apple?
- Cantaloupe: Knock on it to determine if it's hollow. If it is, there's a gerbil living inside subsisting on the fruit's ripe core. Hurry up! You'll have to eat quickly to beat the gerbil.
- Pumpkin: This orange, round gourd shouldn't deflate easily, so repeatedly stab it with something sharp, such as a hunting knife or the tools doctors use to open their mail.
