Real-world usage of RFG|RFGIWS
Appears in 243 of 358 scopes ESXPress has analysed and in 177 of 550 converted customer scopes — referenced by the ESXPress Completeness Advisor. Usage is measured from real claim documents, never estimated. How this is measured.
How it's written in real claims
From 283 line items across 243 scopes processed through ESXPress — the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters actually write:
- “Ice & water barrier”265 lines
- “Ice or water barrier (w/ modified bitumen base)”4 lines
- “Ice water barrier”4 lines
- “Ice & Water Barrier”2 lines
- “Ice water barrier”1 line
Dominant unit of measure: SF — used in 97% of samples.
What the Completeness Advisor checks on RFG|RFGIWS
One ESXPress completeness check references this code. It names the item most often left out of a scope like this one:
- R5-FELT-ICEWATER Ice and water shield is required in the valleys and along the eaves per the manufacturer's instructions and most building codes.

What it is
RFG|RFGIWS is a Roofing (RFG) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in square feet (SF).
ESXPress’s reference documents RFG|RFGIWS. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 283 line items written against this code — 273 of them (96.5%) measured in SF, and 9 line items in LF.
The code appears in 243 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 67.9%) and in 25 of the 61 converted customer scopes.
When to use it
Use RFG|RFGIWS when the scope calls for this code — Roofing work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 265 of the 283 observed line items (93.6%) were written with this code.
The Completeness Advisor’s rule R5-FELT-ICEWATER suggests RFG|RFGIWS for scopes like these: “Ice and water shield is required in the valleys and along the eaves per the manufacturer's instructions and most building codes”.
RFG|RFGIWS is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Ice or water barrier (w/ modified bitumen base)” (4 of 283 line items, 1.4%), “Ice water barrier” (4 of 283 line items, 1.4%). 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: 273 of the 283 observed line items (96.5%) used SF and 9 in LF. The unitAsUsed analysis puts SF at a 96.5% share, making it the safe unit for conversion.
This code accounts for 265 of the 283 sampled lines (93.6%). Estimators also write “Ice or water barrier (w/ modified bitumen base)” (4 lines, 1.4%).
Among the 209 Roofing category codes with usage evidence, RFG|RFGIWS is the 4th most frequent (243 scopes).
Often used together
Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as RFG|RFGIWS — 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 Roofing (RFG) 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: “Ice or water barrier (w/ modified bitumen base)”, SF, qty 4.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Ice water barrier”, SF, qty 4.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Ice water barrier”, SF, qty 1.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Ice & Water Shield”, SF, qty 1.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Ice or water barrier”, SF, qty 1.
