The D&J Origin Story

In 1973 Romeo (Jr) & Maggie Pimpare moved to Sanford with their three young children and started a car repair business- Jr’s Foreign Car at current location. In 1994 D&J Portable Buildings was formed, manufacturing custom made portable buildings.

The business was expanded in 1997 to include the stove shop D&J Home and Hearth North. They started with Harman stoves, and then Vermont Casting was added. In July 2008 the Regency and Vistaflame stove lines were added.

In 2015 Wayne, Wendy & Randy purchased the stove shop from their parents, allowing them to enjoy their retirement. The “kids” formed a corporation WWR LLC, they dropped the north from their name, but other than that nothing has changed. Wayne, Danny Hodgkins, and Wendy Violette have been with D&J Home and Hearth for years. Randy joined in 2014 starting RP Performance out of the garage area selling Automotive, RV accessories and supplies.

D&J Home and Hearth now has a complete line of stoves, wood pellets and stove pipe. We are a leading distributor of top brands, including Harman, Vermont Casting and Majestic pellet, wood, gas stoves, inserts and fireplaces. Other products now include fire pits, The Big Green Egg and Treager series grills. We carry 100% natural lump charcoal and grill accessories.
