Depreciating a New Roof on Home Office

What amount can I depreciate on the cost of a new roof for my home office when insurance paid all but the $2,500 deductible? The entire roof on the house was replaced.

The total cost you use is what you paid, so the $2500.  This will be applied toward the percentage of home office vs entire house when calculating the home office deduction amount.
