You should add the renovation project as a new asset.
As this is a major renovation, it is considered part of the structure of the rental home and you would choose Residential rental property. The renovation will be depreciated over 27.5 years.
For the date of acquisition, I would use the date the renovation was placed in service, i.e. the date the project is completed.
