Thanks for the comments Cleaning Dude. Glad you enjoyed that article.
Here's a link to the article, posted on the EncapBlog...

To answer your questions... If I were to start over today, I think I would do it the same way. Focus on commercial. I'd prefer to leave residential for the other guys in town.
Yes, HWE has its place. We use HWE occasionally. It's not needed often. But we have portys and will use them whenever it's needed. The extractor is not normally in the van, it gets tossed in whenever there's a job that calls for it (no sense driving around with unnecessary clutter in the truck).
The basic set up in our cleaning van is a Cimex, an X-Vac pile lifter, and a cart that carries the buckets cords and whatnot. We have an aluminum Link ramp. There's also an Oreck Orbiter for an occasional oddity. There's also a Zebra brush, an Edge Brush, and a drill with a Rota-Brush and a Drill Driver.
