Per IRS Publication 527, Residential Rental Property, insulation can be capitalized for depreciation purposes. This means, you could add the cost of the insulation to the basis of the property and depreciate it along with the residential real estate property. The publication also states "The expenses you capitalize for improving your property can generally be depreciated as if the improvement were separate property."
