Real-world usage of PNT|PNTMASKFL
Appears in 5 of 358 scopes ESXPress has analysed and in 23 of 543 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 7 line items across 5 scopes processed through ESXPress — the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters actually write:
- “Floor protection - self-adhesive plastic - 2 mil (400 sf)”2 lines
Dominant unit of measure: RL — used in 57% of samples.
What the Completeness Advisor checks on PNT|PNTMASKFL
One ESXPress completeness check references this code. It names the item most often left out of a scope like this one:
- R19-PAINT-MASK Floors get covered while painting so drips and overspray don't damage them.
Frequently estimated with PNT|PNTMASKFL
Codes measured in the same claim scopes as PNT|PNTMASKFL, from scopes processed through ESXPress. The count is how many scopes carried both lines.
- RFG|RFGRIDGCS (in 3 scopes)
- RFG|RFGVENTT (in 4 scopes)

What it is
PNT|PNTMASKFL is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in rolls (RL).
ESXPress’s reference documents PNT|PNTMASKFL. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 7 line items written against this code — 4 of them (57.1%) measured in RL, and 3 line items in SF. The line appears in 5 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 1.4%).
When to use it
Use PNT|PNTMASKFL when the scope calls for this code — Painting work measured in rolls (RL). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 3 of the 7 observed line items (42.9%) were written with this code.
The Completeness Advisor’s rule R19-PAINT-MASK suggests PNT|PNTMASKFL for scopes like these: “Floors get covered while painting so drips and overspray don't damage them”.
How to use it
Measure the work in RL: 4 of the 7 observed line items (57.1%) used RL and 3 in SF. The unitAsUsed analysis puts RL at a 57.1% share, making it the safe unit for conversion.
This code accounts for 3 of the 7 sampled lines (42.9%). Estimators also write “Floor protection - self-adhesive plastic - 2 mil (400 sf)” (2 lines).
Often used together
Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as PNT|PNTMASKFL — co-occurrence measured across the claim scopes processed through ESXPress with support of at least 3 scopes and lift of at least 1.5. Second, other frequently used Painting (PNT) category codes, ranked by how often they appear in the analysed scopes. Descriptions are from the ESXPress code reference.
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: “Floor protection - self-adhesive plastic - 2 mil (400 sf)”, RL, qty 2.
