Hi Ben,
The solder mask will automatically be thinner then the resulting joint 
height, because the CTE of the solder mask is greater than the CTE of the solder, 
and therefore wil shrink more on cooling from soldering temperatures. 
Having a soldermask under the component is agood thing, because it will 
increase the resulting joint height thereby increasing reliability.
