I am a homebuilder in the Houston area and 140$ per square foot would include finishes such as 10 ft ceilings, calacatta waterfall cabinetry, tile in all of the bathroom walls, freestanding master bath tub, waterproof laminate flooring, 8 foot doors everywhere, etc.170$ per square foot and you start getting into the custom luxury home market.200$+ would include large porch areas and patio upgrades, maybe even a pool.

It was a mistake, I should have done tile. 

If you have tiles inside, the tiles will crack.

We have opted for the upgrades that will make it appealing to future buyers, like hardwoods instead of laminate and tile instead of vinyl.  

If I repair a subfloor, then tear out and replace all the underlay and old cheap sticky tiles in the kitchen with interlocking vinyl plank flooring, would this be deducted as a repair or a capital expenditure?

All new MEPS, insulation, windows, roofs, siding, flooring, sheetrock, tile, cabinets, doors, etc.

I have learned how to do a lot of the rehab work, I can put down ceramic tile, tape and float, paint and set cabinets among other things.
