If the total amount is less than $2500, then I think you have the option of treating it as an expense instead of depreciation. In which case, deduct the expense when you actually paid it.
If you choose to, or have to, depreciate the remodeling work, then you depreciate it beginning with when it was "placed in service" -- finished and ready to use.
