Why Countertop Calculator Exists
Countertop Calculator was created to give homeowners a clear and simple way to estimate countertop project size and understand material requirements before speaking with a fabricator.
Many countertop projects begin with uncertainty — measurements, square footage, material differences, and cost expectations. These tools are designed to support the information-gathering stage so homeowners can have better conversations and more accurate expectations.
Who Built the Tool
The Countertop Calculator tools were developed by Paul Gallagher, founder of FireUps. FireUps has worked with countertop fabricators across the United States and Canada since 2008.
FireUps focuses on countertop-specific business solutions that improve online engagement, estimation accuracy, and workflow efficiency for small to medium-sized fabrication shops that work directly with the public.
Working With Local Fabricators
Countertop Calculator works with independent countertop fabricators across North America. These companies provide high-attention service and understand that homeowners using these tools are typically early in their planning process.
When a local professional is available, estimate requests may be reviewed by a qualified countertop fabricator who can provide additional insight into layout, materials, and next steps. There is no obligation to proceed.
Countertop Business Solutions Since 2008
FireUps develops tools and systems that help countertop businesses better serve customers online — from square-foot calculators and instant estimates to content and workflow solutions designed specifically for the countertop industry.
These tools are built to benefit both sides of the project: homeowners gain clarity, and fabricators receive better-informed inquiries.
