Might want check with CRA.

We were told we not able claim renovations because it increase value of our asset (house). We were told we can claim maintenance but not improvement.

When we pave our driveway, CRA were clear we not allowed to claim even percentage of it. They say if we added more gravel to drive to replace what wash away over years, that fine to claim as normal percentage but paving mean improving what we had and improving value of personal home and not able to claim. He did say once it was paved, when we had it sealed after for maintenance, then we can claim that. Same when we check about changing from carpet to hard wood in main living room. We told that improvement not maintenance and so not allowed to claim.

We do claim all house maintenance like painting, carpet cleaning, when air vents cleaned as percentage. We do claim all household maintenance for dedicated daycare space at 100% (that just the guest room for us which is nap room).
