Comment: We just bought a 2-flat in Bucktown (Rockwell & Armitage) and the existing basement finished but the ceiling height ranges between 5'10" and 6'5". We plan to gut rehab the basement and and the first step is to hire an excavator to dig the basement down to hopefully a minimum 8' ceiling height. The size of the basement is approx 20' wide by 60' deep. We are in the process of getting quotes (cost and duration) from contractors. We also may need to install a support beam in the basement ceiling and first floor ceiling to level out the floors which has implications on the basement foundation.
