If the jobs were one large repair/improvement job vs several separate repairs or improvements is what  you would look at to determine if it was one large job or several smaller jobs that could be depreciated over different class lives.

 

Repairs are deductible in current year vs improvements are depreciable over qualifying class life.

 

Refer to the following IRS Publication 946 for additional information on depreciation:
