Xactimate Code PNT|PNTS- — Painting

What it is

PNT|PNTS- is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for seal w/PVA primer - one coat, measured in square feet (SF).

ESXPress’s reference documents PNT|PNTS-. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 13 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 1 of the 61 converted customer scopes.

When to use it

Use PNT|PNTS- when the scope calls for this code — Painting work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 5 of the 13 observed line items (38.5%) were written with this code.

The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Drywall (DRY|DRYMN) — the same scopes, 3 times, lift 12.11.

How to use it

Measure the work in SF: 13 of the 13 observed line items (100.0%) used SF. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.

This code accounts for 5 of the 13 sampled lines (38.5%). Estimators also write “Seal the surface area w/PVA primer - one coat” (4 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: “Seal the surface area w/PVA primer - one coat”, SF, qty 4.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Seal the ceiling w/PVA primer - one coat”, SF, qty 1.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Seal with primer - one coat”, SF, qty 1.
• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Drywall/Plaster Ceiling - Prime”, SF, qty 1.
