I'm trying to match some maple flooring that already exists in my house. I'm not too familiar with flooring. Here's what I've got:
- It's solid maple, all the way down.
- Each "board" is 3.25" wide, and 3/4" deep.
- The boards are of varying lengths.
- There are tongue & groove joints along both long edges of each board (one tongue and one groove)
- There's tongue & groove joints along the ends of the boards too, or at least there's grooves.
Any advice on how to find some matching flooring? I checked in Home Depot, but the only solid wood hardwood they did was oak.

Check with flooring dealers who offer more than one species of hardwood flooring. Maple is readily available. You can also find it online.
