Depends what you are classifying as repairs. For example, some of the things you mention, are considered improvements. Improvements add value to the property, for example, replacing a roof. Let's say that you bought the house for $100k and then you replaced the roof for $10k. That $10k gets "added" to the value of the house, so now your house, for tax purposes, costs $110k. You have to capitalize (add) those permanent repairs or improvements. You can claim them through depreciation when you started renting the house.
What is considered only repairs, is for example, you painted a wall. That has to be deducted the year you incurred it, and even more than that, when the house became available for rent. The ones you did before that time are nondeductible.
