Xactimate Code PNT|PNTP2 — Painting

What it is

PNT|PNTP2 is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for paint - two coats, measured in square feet (SF).

ESXPress’s reference describes PNT|PNTP2 as “Paint - two coats”. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 157 line items written against this code — every one measured in SF.

The code appears in 27 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 7.5%) and in 3 of the 61 converted customer scopes.

When to use it

Use PNT|PNTP2 when the scope calls for “Paint - two coats” — Painting work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 95 of the 157 observed line items (60.5%) were written as “Paint the ceiling - two coats”.

The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Blown-in insulation (INS|INSBI8) — the same scopes, 14 times, lift 13.08. It also appears alongside Rain cap (RFG|RFGVENTEC2, 14 scopes) and Gutter / downspout (SFG|SFGGUTG, 14 scopes).

PNT|PNTP2 is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Paint the surface area - two coats” (33 of 157 line items, 21.0%). 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: 157 of the 157 observed line items (100.0%) used SF. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.

The most common line text is “Paint the ceiling - two coats” (95 of the 157 sampled lines, 60.5%). Estimators also write “Paint the surface area - two coats” (33 lines, 21.0%).

ESXPress’s Completeness Advisor has no rule that references this code, so its usage evidence is purely observational: 27 scopes and 157 line items.

Often used together

Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as PNT|PNTP2 — 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 ceiling - two coats”, SF, qty 95.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint the surface area - two coats”, SF, qty 33.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint Ceiling - two coats”, SF, qty 2.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Paint ceiling - two coats”, SF, qty 1.
