Xactimate Code PNT|PNTP — Painting

What it is

PNT|PNTP is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for paint - one coat, measured in square feet (SF).

ESXPress’s reference describes PNT|PNTP as “Paint - one coat”. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 46 line items written against this code — 42 of them (91.3%) measured in SF, and 4 line items in UN.

The code appears in 20 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 5.6%) and in 6 of the 61 converted customer scopes.

When to use it

Use PNT|PNTP when the scope calls for “Paint - one coat” — Painting work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 12 of the 46 observed line items (26.1%) were written with this code.

The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Texture drywall (DRY|DRYTEX) — the same scopes, 7 times, lift 10.4. It also appears alongside Final cleaning (CLN|CLNFINALR, 12 scopes) and Mask and prep for paint (PNT|PNTMASKLF, 9 scopes).

PNT|PNTP is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Paint the walls - one coat” (12 of 46 line items, 26.1%), “Paint the ceiling - one coat” (9 of 46 line items, 19.6%). 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 SF: 42 of the 46 observed line items (91.3%) used SF and 4 in UN. The unitAsUsed analysis puts SF at a 91.3% share, making it the safe unit for conversion.

This code accounts for 12 of the 46 sampled lines (26.1%). Estimators also write “Paint the walls - one coat” (12 lines, 26.1%).

ESXPress’s Completeness Advisor has no rule that references this code, so its usage evidence is purely observational: 20 scopes and 46 line items.

Often used together

Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as PNT|PNTP — co-occurrence measured across the claim scopes processed through ESXPress with support of at least 3 scopes and lift of at least 1.5.

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 the walls - one coat”, SF, qty 12.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint the ceiling - one coat”, SF, qty 9.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint the surface area - one coat”, SF, qty 4.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint Ceiling- one coat”, SF, qty 1.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint - one coat - baseboards”, SF, qty 1.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint the surface area - one coat - walls”, SF, qty 1.
