Trusted by Texas Institutions
Marine construction is a trust business, and the strongest evidence is who keeps hiring you. Jordan Marine Construction is the contractor public agencies, historic institutions, and industry suppliers choose — and return to.
Harris County Flood Control District
JMC was selected by the Harris County Flood Control District to build a public pier — completed to the District's design and standards, with every change documented and approved. Passing a public agency's vetting, insurance, and compliance requirements is a bar most contractors never clear.

CEO - Faith West Inc.
"When considering Mr. Kick and the many projects he has completed for Faith West Inc., there are several traits that immediately come to mind; honest, creative, dependable, principled, and detailed. Mr. Kick has constructed everything from fences, to bulkheads, to a 70 foot free span bridge, to a very large heavy timber event gazebo. Mr. Kick has surpassed all expectations. He has always considered every suggestion and is a good communicator. Whether he is working on a large project or a small one, he has shown himself to be among the best contractors we have ever found. When I have a project, I will always consider Mr. Kick as my first choice."
"Chris and Jordan Marine built a Pier/Dock for us. We were very happy with the project. The material and workmanship is 1st class. They completed the project on time despite the heat and bad weather. Chris was a good communicator who clearly laid out the plan, material selection and timeline to complete the project. I am happy to share the experience and provide our dock as a reference to any future customers of Chris and Jordan Marine Construction."
