is it ok to add a piece of wood 1 inch to a floor joist ,?

my new floor joist is an inch too short on height to make all my upstairs floors the same after an extention, to avoid a step down into the extention ,can i simply add a piece of 1x2 on top of the joist before laying the floor.?

Yep no problems with that one - just use new timber and nail or screw it down.
