You can't depreciate the vinyl siding itself.   It increases the value of the building and therefore you would have to depreciate the cost of the building itself.  I believe most would not recommend this as it can create a recapture income at such time as you sell it however should you choose to do so you would separate the cost of the building from the land, add the cost of renovations, and the depreciation class would be class 1.
