Xactimate Code PNT|PNTGUTG — Painting

What it is

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

ESXPress’s reference documents PNT|PNTGUTG. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 27 line items written against this code — every one measured in LF.

The code appears in 23 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 6.4%).

When to use it

Use PNT|PNTGUTG when the scope calls for this code — Painting work measured in linear feet (LF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 22 of the 27 observed line items (81.5%) were written with this code.

The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Comb and straighten a/c condenser fins (HVC|HVCACFINS) — the same scopes, 6 times, lift 6.07. It also appears alongside DOR|DORSTRMD (3 scopes) and DMO|DMODTRLR (8 scopes).

PNT|PNTGUTG is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Prime and paint gutter downspout” (3 of 27 line items, 11.1%), “Prime & paint gutters and downspouts” (1 of 27 line items, 3.7%). Spelling, spacing, and qualifiers vary between adjusters — which is why ESXPress normalises act text when mapping scopes.

How to use it

Measure the work in LF: 27 of the 27 observed line items (100.0%) used LF. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.

This code accounts for 22 of the 27 sampled lines (81.5%). Estimators also write “Prime and paint gutter downspout” (3 lines, 11.1%).

ESXPress’s Completeness Advisor has no rule that references this code, so its usage evidence is purely observational: 23 scopes and 27 line items.

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: “Prime and paint gutter downspout”, LF, qty 3.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Prime & paint gutters and downspouts”, LF, qty 1.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Prime and paint gutter”, LF, qty 1.
