termite remediation - expense or capital improvement

Our house was treated for both subterranean and wood rot termites. For subterranean, we had to have cabinets demolished in the garage plus have landscaping around the house including a vegetable garden removed then replaced with new landscaping.

 

For wood rot termites, we had:

-all windows and doors replaced with energy efficient windows and doors as part of demolishing the wood trim then installing stucco popouts around each window and door

-all fascia boards replaced and upgraded to windsorone boards that are pretreated for rot, insects and mold

-to install of new gutters since work on fascia boards demolished existing rain gutters

-to replace the roof as water damage was identified during work on fascia boards

-all flooring replaced as termites had eaten through hardwood flooring in majority of rooms
