put siding on in 2023, but paid in 2024

[Patty Mac]

I'm doing my 2023 taxes (late) and we had some siding and gutters put on in Fall 2023, however we did not pay for it (~$13,000) until summer 2024. Do I record this in my 2023 or 2024 taxes?  I know it is a capital improvement and needs to be depreciated - which makes me think to claim it in 2023 when the work was done, but since we didn't pay it until 2024 - that seems wrong.  But waiting until 2024 when we paid for it seems wrong as it was "put into service" in 2023.  I asked my old tax guys (who is retired) he suggested claiming it in 2023, but he was on the fence about it.  Help, I'm confused.
