You should classify as improvement to the property(increase the cost of the asset) and claim depreciation on the property.

Rental property is considered a depreciable asset, including major improvements such as new roofs, landscaping, refrigerators, water heaters, furniture, and so forth.

TurboTax Premier and Self-Employed (and Home & Business if you're using TurboTax CD/Download) will help you handle the ins and outs of depreciation. 

See the below answer to FAQ on how to depreciate your rental property:
