It's a great start that you have all the receipts and excel list, but you need to have a professional take a look if you want something that would be defensible to the IRS.To answer your questions: windows are generally considered structural so they'll be 27.5 year (unless they're a part of a 5 or 15 year asset - rare but possible), the floors depend on what they are and how they're installed, carpet and laminate are generally 5 year, solid hardwood and ceramic tile are generally 27.5 year, the deck could be 15 year or 27.5 year depending on how it was installed.If you'd like to have an in depth discussion on this and see some numbers PM me.
