They are different rates. When you remodel a rental home, this is considered an improvement, (as compared to a repair) because it increases the value of the rental. Because of this, you must capitalize (depreciate) them. However, each item is depreciated in its own category. Click on this IRS link for more information: Additions or improvements to property.
