Repairs vs. Capital Improvements – What’s the difference?  

It can be tough to know which projects count as repairs and which projects are seen as capital improvements. For tax reasons, it’s important to know the difference. If you’re not sure which category your project falls under, just give us a call. We’ll be happy to help you work out which is which.

Repairs – Repairs are generally done to fix something that’s broken or damaged. Repairs aren’t considered capital improvements because they are regular maintenance and don’t significantly change the property’s original life or value.

Capital Improvements – A capital improvement increases the value of a property or extends its life. For example, fixing a leaky roof is a repair. But upgrading to a new roof is a capital improvement. Think of it this way – if a buyer came to look at your property and you said “The roof doesn’t leak,” that’s a given. The roof isn’t supposed to leak. But if you tell that buyer that the roof was just replaced, they see that as additional value and may pay extra on the purchase price because of it.
