The roof does not qualify for 179 depreciation. 

 

 

Business property purchases that may qualify for Section 179 deductions include:

  • Machinery and equipment
  • Business vehicles with gross vehicle weight over 6,000 lbs
  • Business personal property, which is basically any type of property that isn't attached physically to a building. It's basically everything from office furniture and equipment to computers to free-standing shelves - it's sometimes called "contents."

Since the roof is part of the structure of the building you will need to take depreciation over several years.
