Childress Heavy Equipment | Serving the Houston Area for Large-Scale Jobs
Childress Heavy Equipment travels to Houston for the jobs that require it — large-scale heavy equipment repair and mechanic work where experience and reliability matter. We’re a veteran-owned operation out of Marble Falls, TX, with over 18 years in the field. If your project in the Houston area is substantial enough to warrant bringing in a specialist, we’re ready to have the conversation.
Heavy Equipment Repair in Houston
The Houston area runs on heavy machinery. From energy infrastructure to construction and industrial operations, equipment downtime on a large job creates problems that ripple across an entire project. When a critical machine goes down and you need a mechanic who can diagnose and repair it on-site — without excuses and without a learning curve — Childress Heavy Equipment is the call worth making.
Jordan Childress trained as a mechanic through military service and has spent over 18 years working on heavy diesel equipment in the field. The business is built on that foundation. We work on excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, loaders, and other diesel-powered heavy machines. We come to your site mobile, with diagnostic equipment and tools to handle repairs in the field.
We make the trip to Houston for the right jobs. That typically means significant equipment scopes, extended repair engagements, or situations where the scale and urgency justify bringing in someone with a demonstrated track record. Call us and describe what you’re working with — we’ll tell you quickly whether we’re the right fit.
On-Site Repair Capabilities
When we come to your Houston job site, we’re equipped to handle a full range of repair and maintenance work on location:
- Mobile heavy equipment diagnosis and repair
- Diesel engine troubleshooting, overhaul, and service
- Hydraulic system repair — pumps, cylinders, valves, and hose systems
- Undercarriage inspection and component replacement
- On-site welding and fabrication for structural damage, buckets, and attachments
- Preventative maintenance while on-site if additional machines need attention
We operate 24/7. If a machine goes down in the middle of the night on a time-sensitive project, we’re reachable and we respond.
The Childress Difference
What makes someone drive from Marble Falls to Houston for a job? The short answer is that some clients need someone they can count on to actually solve the problem, not just show up and run through the motions.
Jordan’s background as a military mechanic is a real differentiator. Military mechanics work on complex, high-consequence equipment under pressure, and they’re trained to diagnose problems systematically and fix them the right way. That approach doesn’t change when the job is a commercial excavator or a bulldozer on a Houston construction site.
We’re honest about what we can do and we don’t take jobs we can’t execute. When we commit to a Houston project, we’re fully committed to it.
Free Estimates

Frequently Asked Questions — Houston Area
Do you take jobs in Houston regularly? Houston is outside our core service area, so we travel there for large-scale jobs where the scope makes sense. We’re not set up for routine local calls in Houston, but for significant equipment repair or mechanic work, it’s worth a conversation. Call us and describe the situation.
What types of equipment do you work on in Houston? We work on heavy diesel-powered machinery — excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, loaders, and similar equipment. If it’s heavy machinery with a diesel engine or hydraulic systems, we can likely help.
Can you handle emergency equipment failures in Houston? We operate 24/7 and can discuss emergency situations on a case-by-case basis. Because Houston involves travel time from Marble Falls, we’ll need to assess the situation and logistics before committing to a timeline. Call us directly at 737-788-9222 for urgent needs.
Do you provide dirt work or land clearing services in Houston? No — our dirt work and land clearing services are focused on our Central Texas service area. When we come to Houston, it’s specifically for heavy equipment repair and mechanic work.
