Real-world usage of PNT|PNTSP
Appears in 30 of 358 scopes ESXPress has analysed and in 57 of 550 converted customer scopes. Usage is measured from real claim documents, never estimated. How this is measured.
How it's written in real claims
From 111 line items across 30 scopes processed through ESXPress — the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters actually write:
- “Seal/prime (1 coat) then paint (1 coat) {V}”15 lines
- “Seal/prime then paint {V} (2 coats)”12 lines
- “Seal/prime (1 coat) then paint (1 coat) the ceiling”1 line
- “Seal/prime (1 coat) then paint (1 coat) the surface area”1 line
- “Seal/prime (1 coat) then paint (1 coat) the surface area”1 line
Dominant unit of measure: SF — used in 100% of samples.

What it is
PNT|PNTSP is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in square feet (SF).
ESXPress’s reference documents PNT|PNTSP. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 111 line items written against this code — every one measured in SF.
The code appears in 30 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 8.4%) and in 1 of the 61 converted customer scopes.
When to use it
Use PNT|PNTSP when the scope calls for this code — Painting work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 15 of the 111 observed line items (13.5%) were written with this code.
The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Final cleaning (CLN|CLNFINALR) — the same scopes, 16 times, lift 4.84. It also appears alongside Mask and prep for paint (PNT|PNTMASKLF, 13 scopes) and Texture drywall (DRY|DRYTEX, 8 scopes).
How to use it
Measure the work in SF: 111 of the 111 observed line items (100.0%) used SF. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.
This code accounts for 15 of the 111 sampled lines (13.5%).
ESXPress’s Completeness Advisor has no rule that references this code, so its usage evidence is purely observational: 30 scopes and 111 line items.
Often used together
Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as PNT|PNTSP — 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: “Seal/prime then paint the surface area (2 coats)”, SF, qty 1.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Drywall/Plaster - Paint, 1 Coat”, SF, qty 1.
