As @Jon Holdman mentioned, the blinds are damage rather than wear.As for the tub, was it ever resurfaced previously, or is that the original finished surface?

Glad this resurfaced! 

Parking lot depending on size could be 25k to 100k to resurface.

@Ryan Evans, I think I posted this thread about 3 years ago and it's somehow managed to resurface. 

With the information you provided, I think two of them does not apply to you ( de minimis safe harbor for 2,500 or 5000 (Hoping the expense was higher than 2500 ) and routine maintenance safe harbor- does not apply to you).The third one might apply, since we do not have info on your basis, please look into the Safe harbor for small taxpayers:You can deduct improvement on the property does not exceed the lesser of(1) 2% of the eligible building property’s unadjusted basis or(2) $10,000 Also, we should consider court cases over the years that have allowed few of the expenses related to the driveway to expense rather than capitalize. these are what court decided on few of them:Per court case, these expenditures can be deducted as repair and maintenance for the driveway, parking lots etc:1) recrowning and resurfacing with the same materials as in the road without lengthening or widening or changing basic construction2) constructing logging road on adjacent state property including repairs to tractor used in constructing the road3) patching asphalt steel mill driveway4) resurfacing a three-year-old parking lot to restore it to its original condition after construction.

I would like to resurface this question. 

It is a franchise that resurfaces tubs and tile.

Apparently she thinks resurfacing a pool requires a permit.

I want to resurface the bath tub and surround of a rental I'm remodeling into a high end loft and heard that DIY options don't really work.

Even if you resurface all of it it will deteriorate.
