Is Roof Replacement A Capital Improvement?

Katelyn Lewis • April 10, 2024

Can you claim your new roof in your 2023 taxes?

Roof replacement is typically considered a capital improvement, especially in the context of property ownership and management.


Capital improvements are generally defined as significant enhancements made to a property that extend its useful life, increase its value, or adapt it to a new use. As such, roof replacement fits this definition because it involves a substantial investment in the property that improves its structural integrity, aesthetics, and functionality.


It's essential to consult with a tax professional or accountant to determine whether specific home improvement projects qualify as capital expenses for tax purposes, as the criteria can vary based on location and individual circumstances.
