Improvements made to an inherited property prior to selling it. Can I deduct these?

I inherited my mother's home (split equally 3 ways -  between myself and two sisters).   Prior to selling the inherited home,  we had the inside of house painted, and after finding a small amount of water under the house, we had Drypro install a french drain around the inside permiter along with a sump pump.   Total cost of painting $2,850  (1/3 = $950);  Total cost of DryPro work $5,602 (1/3=$1,867).    Can I reflect this as a deduction expense and if so, where in TurboTax do I record this?
