Xactimate Code PNT|PNTMASKSF — Painting

What it is

PNT|PNTMASKSF is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for mask per square foot - plastic and tape - 4 mil, measured in square feet (SF).

ESXPress’s reference documents PNT|PNTMASKSF. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 11 line items written against this code — every one measured in SF. The line appears in 9 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 2.5%) and in 2 of the 61 converted customer scopes.

When to use it

Use PNT|PNTMASKSF when the scope calls for this code — Painting work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 7 of the 11 observed line items (63.6%) were written with this code.

The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Window blind (WDT|WDTBLNDRS) — the same scopes, 3 times.

How to use it

Measure the work in SF: 11 of the 11 observed line items (100.0%) used SF. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.

This code accounts for 7 of the 11 sampled lines (63.6%). Estimators also write “Mask the surface area per square foot - plastic and tape - 4 mil” (2 lines).

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: “Mask the surface area per square foot - plastic and tape - 4 mil”, SF, qty 2.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Mask the floor per square foot - plastic and tape - 4 mil”, SF, qty 1.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Mask floor per square foot - plastic and tape - 4 mil”, SF, qty 1.
