Can I deduct the metal roof I have been putting on my personal home?

I have been putting the metal roof on over the past 2-3 years.

Unfortunately, you cannot deduct the cost of a metal roof for your personal home.  There is a 30% credit you can take for your costs of qualified solar electric property, solar water heating property, small wind energy property, geothermal heat pump property, and fuel cell property.
