   Nah, just pick anything and slap it down. No one will notice the height difference after a little creative putty is applied around the baseboards and door trim. Okay, maybe not so much.

   Get good help! Not just Donna and Jim but flooring contractors too!

   The hardwoods are tough to retrofit into existing homes due to the extra height but it will probably be the #1 choice for most who can afford it and insist on the best.

   But the look-alikes are so similar now that they are very suitable. The SPC and engineered hardwood are the next-best choices, plus vinyl too if you don’t have a mis-match in heights like Mitch mentioned here.

   The stone and tile have grout lines, which get dirty. But not a problem if you don’t mind the maintenance.
