Vortex Air installs luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring for homes and businesses across Wichita, Derby, and the surrounding area. We are a licensed general contractor and restoration company, so we handle the part most flooring shops hand off: the subfloor underneath. If your old floor is coming up because of water damage, a leak, or just age, we can fix what is below and lay the new planks in one project. Call 316-272-6849 for a free estimate.

Why people choose LVP

Luxury vinyl plank gives you a real wood or stone look without the price or the upkeep. The texture is printed and embossed onto a tough wear layer, so it holds up to kids, pets, and daily traffic. It is water resistant, which is why it works well in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and entryways where real hardwood would warp.

One honest note: LVP is not hardwood. You cannot sand and refinish it, and heavy appliances can leave dents over many years. For most Wichita homes that trade-off is worth it, but we will tell you straight if another material fits your room better.

Our installation process

We keep it simple and clean from the first visit to the final walkthrough.

  1. 1

    Free in-home estimate

    We measure the space and talk through plank options and budget.

  2. 2

    Floor removal

    We pull up the old flooring and haul it away.

  3. 3

    Subfloor prep

    We inspect, repair, and level the subfloor so the new planks sit flat and quiet.

  4. 4

    Installation

    We lay the planks, cut clean edges, and finish transitions and trim.

  5. 5

    Cleanup and walkthrough

    We leave the space ready to use and walk the job with you.

Most rooms are done in one to three days, depending on size and how much subfloor work is needed.

Frequently asked questions

How much does luxury vinyl plank flooring installation cost?

Installed cost usually runs a few dollars per square foot for labor, plus the planks you choose. The final number depends on room size, how much subfloor repair is needed, and the plank quality. We give a firm estimate after we measure, with no surprise charges.

How long does it take to install vinyl plank flooring?

Most rooms take one to three days. A standard room can be a single day. Add time when the subfloor needs repair or leveling, or when we are removing old tile or glued-down flooring first.

Can vinyl plank flooring be installed over tile?

Often yes, if the tile is in good shape and level. We check the surface first, since loose tile or an uneven floor will telegraph through the planks. When the base is not solid, we prep or replace it before installing.

Is luxury vinyl plank good for kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes. LVP is water resistant, which makes it a strong choice for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. It is one of the main reasons homeowners pick it over hardwood for those spaces.

Do you repair the subfloor too?

Yes, and this is what sets us apart. As a licensed general contractor and restoration company, we repair and replace damaged subfloor, level uneven spots, and handle water damage before we lay a single plank.
