Customer Reviews for LaHabra Allegro II 12 lb. Stucco Base

It’s been 3 months since my cinderblock retaining wall (among trees and bushes) was finished with this product (3 coats) and their Crystal White dye. Squirrels have lunch and deers have “evacuated” on this wall but several strong rains wash it all away to maintain a beautiful brilliant white wall! I am very pleased!

Great stuff! Mixed and used sprayer. Bought 1 bag initially and several colors. Used math to come up with correct portions, tried a stripe of each color. We selected Silver Gray for the stucco, Crystal White borders, Bay Ridge rock. White for Mortar.

In the past 10 years of using this product for painting stucco it was rather difficult to obtain. Now Home Depot carries the product!! My order showed up in about 10 days via UPS. Good alternative to paint. If you want to see how this product is mixed have a look at my video on mixing. https://youtu.be/pBXl15GcgBk

Saved the day! Covered up the contractor's mishaps on my newly stuccoed fireplace wall without me needing to apply acrylic paint which is flamable. Allegro II is completely non-flammable and opaque. Just what was needed.

Yes !!! I used the product to cover grey stucco which was applied by impact window installers (I used Brilliant White 3 coats. I applied it with a 3" paint brush. With a little math and a kitchen scale I was able to make in small batches. Weighed the first dry batch, then used dry volume for more batches. Used matching liquid volume for water and colorant. Make sure to mask (the hardest part) any place you don't want this product. Easy clean up.

Works well but you have to know how to use it to make specified coverage.

works good for touch up of stucco, just ad the color and go.

This is a great product! Easy to use and very easy clean up. Covers best with two coats. Neighbors are wanting to paint there houses now.

I'm redoing the stucco on my house and am about 1/3 done. So far I am satisfied with the results. I am applying the Allegro with a roller and brush. It takes me 2 days to use up one bag of Allegro which makes about 3.5 gal of mix. It takes at least 2 coats to cover the more stained or off color areas. Two coats are recommended with the first coat acting as a primer coat. The original stucco was off-white in color and I am using a similar color (Oatmeal) in Allegro. I haven't seen any problems with letting the Allegro mix sit overnight, although it does have a tendency to settle and needs to be kept well mixed. I am estimating I will use 8 bags of Allegro to do my 35 year old 1800 sq. ft. ranch style house with coverage per bag running about 330 sq. ft. per bag. I am doing a fair amount of stucco patching and prep prior to the Allegro application. It's a big project for one person, but manageable.

BUBBLING AND CRACKING The previous owner of my house used this product about two years ago on an adobe house. It is peeling off, bubbling, and cracking. Now I have the problem of patching it and don't know if I should use Allegra II again or another product that might be better and may not match. My home is in Taos, NM in the Rocky Mountains of northern NM. Temperatures vary from Na extreme high that is rare of 100 degrees to -20 degrees. It's dry and often windy.

No, it was not what we thought it would be. I thought it would by itself cover cement block lines. I ended up needing to mortar skim first, which was a long draining effort for someone who has never done that. Then the cement coating went fine over that. It is the look I want.

This product is excellent at refreshing and evening out the color on masonry surfaces such as stucco and quickwall. You simply mix the Allegro II with water and colorant (if desired) and apply with a sprayer or roller. The results were excellent. Nice thing is, that if kept in a sealed container, the solution remains useable for up to 48 hours (although remixing may be needed). Clean up is easy with soap and water.

we have smooth stucco and our house is not painted. Recently we had a window removed and french doors installed. When the stucco was repaired there was a small line all around from the trowel showing where the patch was done. We used la habra allegro and very carefully spot treated with a small roller and were able to cover the patch. It also blended very well with the stucco color so we did not have to paint our house. Unlike paint this sort of seeps into the stucco instead of sitting on top of it.
