Deducting travel expenses when making Improvements to my Rental Property

I traveled to my out-of-state rental property to be on-site when a contractor made improvements ( installed new flooring).  I also performed minor miscellaneous maintenance while there.

How do I deduct the travel expenses (mileage, tolls and food)? 

Can I deduct them as regular expenses or do they get lumped in with the flooring costs which are added as a depreciable asset?
