Is a roof replacement tax-deductible in California?
A standard residential roof replacement is generally not tax-deductible, but it is added to your home's cost basis (reducing capital-gains tax at sale). Cool-roof installations may qualify for federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (up to $1,200/yr).
Quick facts
- Cost basis adjustment: full replacement value added
- Federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit: up to $1,200 for qualifying cool-roof shingles
- Solar-ready roof prep can qualify for the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit when paired with PV
- Always confirm with a CPA — this is general guidance, not tax advice
