Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

BERKELEY COUNTY, SC (WCSC) - Bond was denied Thursday evening for a 31-year-old Summerville man accused of breaking into a home in the Cane Bay area and assaulting a woman and her 4-year-old son.

Brandon Keith Sigmon is charged with first degree burglary, two counts of first degree assault, three counts of kidnapping and possession of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime in connection to the Wednesday afternoon incident.

"The monster that did this forces his way into our home and terrorized me and my two children," said the victim in Thursday's court hearing."He hit me several times in the back of my head with a gun that he had previously pointed at my face and the back of my head."

Authorities said since the incident occurred, the victim along with her entire family has been "terrified" to even return to their home.

Deputies say Sigmon was apprehended after he was spotted hiding in a construction area Wednesday evening. Authorities say after he was spotted, he jumped into a pond and ran into a wooded area where he was arrested.

Sigmon is being held at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center, according to Berkeley Sheriff's spokesman Dan Moon.

Investigators say Sigmon was posing as a vacuum cleaner salesman when the home invasion occurred after 2 p.m. at a house in the 300 block of Decatur Drive where he forced his way inside the home and assaulted a woman, who investigators say suffered "fairly extensive" injuries.

The woman told deputies she saw the man walking from the front door with his hands up, saying, "OK, ma'am, OK, ma'am." She said the suspect's behavior made her nervous and she called her husband to let him know about it, but before she could walk out of the front foyer area of her home, she heard the glass shattering from the back door.

She told deputies she saw the man enter the home and charge at her, yelling for her to get off the phone. The suspect then began to punch her and hit her in the head with a handgun, the report states. The woman told authorities as she asked the man what he wanted, he appeared to get angrier and continue to hit her, and pushed her head against the wall several times.

The victim said her two-year-old daughter and four-year-old son were in the home and were crying. Police say the suspect then ordered her to make them stop crying. When they didn't stop crying, the woman said the suspect pushed her son and he fell against the wall.

Do-it-yourself work accounts for 37 percent of all home remodeling projects in the nation, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Census Bureau.

The growing popularity of cable television channels with programming dedicated to home improvement including HGTV and the DIY Network, as well as the financial pressure of the economic downturn, may be inspiring home owners to take on home fixes and decorating challenges on their own.

However, it is important that homeowners consider the safety risks, time delays and hidden costs before attempting DIY home improvements.

Remodeling industry professionals report that about 30 percent of their work comes from fixing DIY debacles.

A homeowner should consider the worst case scenario of a DIY project and ask, "If this happens, would I be able to fix it?"

If the answer is no, a professional remodeler is the right choice.

Consumers are cautioned not to take on more than they are capable of doing both in terms of time and skill. There are relatively simple home projects that professional remodelers believe can be completed by DIYers such as hanging pictures, interior painting, caulking and changing door knobs and cabinet pulls. Homeowners with the correct tools and a higher skill level should be able to tackle some aesthetic work such as installing crown molding.

But here are some of the factors homeowners should consider before undertaking a DIY home improvement project:

DIY projects often take longer than expected, and trying to complete a project in the evenings or weekends could mean living with a home in disarray for weeks or months.

Hiring a professional means you will have a contract with a completion date and that the remodeler will bring in whatever help is necessary to get the job finished on time - and to deal with any unexpected issues that come up.
