I work from home full time as a salaried employee for another company that requires me to work from home. Are roof and external wall repairs claimable as a tax credit?

Last year I had major repairs done to my home: the roof was replaced, the building envelope was repaired in several places, balconies were resurfaced and new railings were installed for a total of > $50,000.  Are (a %age of) these repairs claimable?  The CRA guidelines says only "minor" repairs are eligible, but I've read various reports saying you can claim roof repairs (which I would consider major), so I'm not sure where the other repairs I've listed fall into place.  I'd love to get some money back, but I don't want to be over zealous and have the CRA come knocking and claw everything back.
