About Charter Oak Scanning
Charter Oak was started as a father-daughter business in 2013. The idea sprung to life after they witnessed the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 where memories of family and friends had washed away and important medical and financial documents were damaged. Since 2013, we continue to grow our team and footprint and now is a fantastic time to join the Charter Oak family.
