A two year remodel of existing rental -- is it still considered a rental though I havent rented it out ?

Can I continue to claim my rental as a rental if I have been remolding it for the last two year. Both due to COVID and the fact the property is several states away it has just taken some time but will back on the market soon.  Turbo Tax tells me to not count as a rental when I plug in zero for days rented.
