Real-world usage of DRY|DRYTEX
Appears in 13 of 358 scopes ESXPress has analysed and in 29 of 550 converted customer scopes — referenced by the ESXPress Completeness Advisor. Usage is measured from real claim documents, never estimated. How this is measured.
How it's written in real claims
From 67 line items across 13 scopes processed through ESXPress — the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters actually write:
- “Texture drywall - light hand texture”12 lines
- “Texture drywall - light hand texture - ceiling and wall”1 line
Dominant unit of measure: SF — used in 100% of samples.
What the Completeness Advisor checks on DRY|DRYTEX
One ESXPress completeness check references this code. It names the item most often left out of a scope like this one:
- R17-DRYWALL-TEX New drywall has to be textured (and painted) to match the rest of the room - taping and floating alone isn't finished.

What it is
DRY|DRYTEX is a Drywall (DRY) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in square feet (SF).
ESXPress’s reference documents DRY|DRYTEX. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 67 line items written against this code — every one measured in SF. The line appears in 13 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 3.6%) and in 4 of the 61 converted customer scopes.
When to use it
Use DRY|DRYTEX when the scope calls for this code — Drywall work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 12 of the 67 observed line items (17.9%) were written with this code.
The Completeness Advisor’s rule R17-DRYWALL-TEX suggests DRY|DRYTEX for scopes like these: “New drywall has to be textured (and painted) to match the rest of the room - taping and floating alone isn't finished”.
How to use it
Measure the work in SF: 67 of the 67 observed line items (100.0%) used SF. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.
This code accounts for 12 of the 67 sampled lines (17.9%).
Often used together
Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as DRY|DRYTEX — co-occurrence measured across the claim scopes processed through ESXPress with support of at least 3 scopes and lift of at least 1.5.
