Andersen 400 Woodwright double-hung replacement is the Andersen window for an older Twin Cities house: a traditional-profile double-hung with a pine interior you can stain or paint, a low-upkeep exterior in Andersen's colors, and an insert version made to go into your existing wood frames. JMB Builders measures each opening, orders through ABC Supply and installs it across the Twin Cities metro. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Priced per window, Woodwright double-hung included
- Pine interior for stain or paint
- Insert version fits existing wood frames
The Woodwright is the double-hung in Andersen's 400 Series drawn to look like an old wood window: a deeper sash profile, a check rail with some weight to it, and a wood interior in pine ready for stain or paint. The exterior is Andersen's low-upkeep cladding in the 400 Series colors, from White and Sandtone to Dark Bronze and Black. Both sashes tilt in for cleaning.
What makes it the window for an old house is the insert version. The Woodwright insert is sized to go inside your existing wood frame, so the original casing, stool and apron stay, and the new window gets stops to match. Grilles can be full divided light for a true muntin look, simulated divided light, or Finelight between the glass. Glass is Andersen's Low-E4 with argon, with SmartSun and HeatLock as options.
We measure each frame in three places, check the sill and jambs for rot, write insert or full frame on each line, order through ABC Supply, our supplier, and install. We are the installer. Options such as the Andersen 400 tilt-wash double-hung, ProVia Aeris and MI are measured and ordered the same way, and any two can sit on one quote.

How it is priced: per window
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Window size and the number of openings on the order
- Insert into the existing frame vs. full frame
- Grille style: full divided light costs more than between-the-glass
- Exterior color and interior finish
- Rot at the sill or jambs found when the old sashes come out
- Second-story access
- Staining or painting the pine interior and stops, quoted as a separate line
Send a photo of the inside casing and stool. If you want to keep them, the Woodwright insert is the version we measure for, and we say so on the quote.
How long it takes
Lead time depends on the order and is written on the quote. Woodwright inserts install at a few per day; full-frame openings take longer.

Situations and options
Woodwright inserts, original trim kept
The old sashes, weights and pulleys come out, the weight pockets are insulated, and the Woodwright insert goes into the frame. Your casing and stool stay. New stops are stained or painted to match.
Full divided light for a historic look
True muntins on both faces of the glass in the pattern the house had, such as six-over-one or four-over-four. Costs more than between-the-glass grilles and looks like the original.
Woodwright in a historic district
Where a review board wants wood windows with a traditional profile, the Woodwright is often accepted. We help with the photos and product sheets the application asks for.
Andersen 400 Woodwright Double-Hung Replacement: questions, answered
What is the Andersen Woodwright double-hung?
It is the double-hung in Andersen's 400 Series made with a traditional profile: a heavier sash, a wood interior in pine for stain or paint, and a low-upkeep exterior in Andersen's colors. Both sashes tilt in. It comes as an insert for existing wood frames or as a full-frame unit.
Can the Woodwright go into my original window frames?
Yes, the Woodwright insert is made for that. The old sashes, weights and pulleys come out, the weight pockets are insulated, and the insert is set inside the frame. Your casing, stool and apron stay. The frame has to be square and the sill sound; we check both at the measure.
What is the difference between the Woodwright and the tilt-wash double-hung?
Both are 400 Series wood double-hungs. The tilt-wash has Andersen's standard profile and the widest range of sizes. The Woodwright has a deeper, more traditional sash profile and an insert made for old frames. On a newer house the tilt-wash is the usual pick; on a pre-war house, the Woodwright.
Can the Woodwright be stained to match my trim?
Yes. Order the pine interior unfinished and it takes stain or paint. We can stain or paint it as a separate line on the quote, or you can finish it yourself before or after install. A factory white interior is also offered.
What grilles can the Woodwright have?
Full divided light, with real muntins on both sides of the glass; simulated divided light, with bars bonded to the glass; or Finelight grilles between the glass. Patterns include six-over-one, six-over-six and others. The choice is written on each quote line.
Who orders and installs the Woodwright?
We do. Each frame is measured in person, the windows are ordered through ABC Supply to those sizes, and our crew installs them. If you already bought Andersen windows, we install those labor only.
