Hi
Do these sentences have the same meaning?
Get your brother to fix the roof; he's quite the best person to do it.
Your brother would mend the roof better than anyone else; tell him to do it.
I think they share the same meaning but I didn't understand the function of the would in the second sentence.

"Would" is a more polite, less direct, and less emphatic form of "will."
