Xactimate Code PNT|PNTB — Painting

What it is

PNT|PNTB is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in linear feet (LF).

ESXPress’s reference documents PNT|PNTB. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 18 line items written against this code — every one measured in LF. The line appears in 10 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 2.8%) and in 4 of the 61 converted customer scopes.

When to use it

Use PNT|PNTB when the scope calls for this code — Painting work measured in linear feet (LF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 16 of the 18 observed line items (88.9%) were written with this code.

The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Vapor barrier (FCW|FCWBARRV) — the same scopes, 3 times.

How to use it

Measure the work in LF: 18 of the 18 observed line items (100.0%) used LF. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.

This code accounts for 16 of the 18 sampled lines (88.9%). Estimators also write “Paint baseboards and trim - one coat” (1 line).

Real-world examples

Each example is an anonymised line from a processed claim scope: the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters wrote, with the observed line-item count. The count is line frequency across the analysed samples — never a price and never a quantity from a specific claim.

• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint baseboards and trim - one coat”, LF, qty 1.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint baseboard \- one coat”, LF, qty 1.
