Sorry, I believe those are all maintenance/repair category. Consider that those items could have been counted as CAP IMP one time before, and can't be repeated. Feel free to inquire further.


Why can't you make capital improvements more than once?  If you own a property long term, you might well have to replace the roof or air conditioner more than once over 20 or 30 or 40 years.

 

If you only want to ask someone who will tell you what you want to hear, ask your office or fishing buddies.  Replacing a compressor because it can no longer be repaired is an improvement, since it extends the working life of the HVAC system.  And there's a difference between patching a crack in the foundation and trenching out the whole house to replace a failed French drain.
