You don’t get tax deduction this year. But you might get it on your capital gain tax
when you sell the house. If it is your only house and the house appreciates more than
$250,000(if you are single) or $500,000(if you are married and filing joint), you can
deduct the house maintenance expense from the selling price. So keep all the receipts.
You never know. Your house might appreciate more than $500,000 over time.
