I just need to understand if i should capitalize the entire expense or only half.

Think of the building as two separate properties--a rental property and your personal residence.
You should capitalize 50% of the gutters and electric upgrade since that belongs to the rental property. You can add them as separate assets in TurboTax to track the depreciation.
The other 50% of the expense is added to the basis of your personal residence to minimize any gain when you go to sell.
