Is new carpeting for a home office considered a repair or an improvement?

According to IRS, any expense that increases the capacity, strength or quality of your property is an improvement. New wall-to-wall carpeting falls under this category. Merely replacing a single carpet that is beyond its useful life likely is a deductible repair.
