When I moved into the house, all of the house paint was stored in the laundry room but I would rather keep it in the garage. I was wondering if I would mess up the paint if I did. I live in the southern ohio/western west virginia/eastern kentucky region.

The garage is very poorly insulated.

Oil-bound paint will be OK, however water based paint will freeze and be .rendered useless
TIP When painting in very cold weather, place paint-pot in boiling water, (oil-bound )

RE:
Is it ok to store house paint in the garage? I live where it snows/freezes intermittently during the winter?

Most paints today are made of latex base. It is also a water base type of mix. It will freeze and it will make the latex and water separate and render the paint useless. Paint has only a 1 year shelf life anyway if it is in the original unopened can. Most paint unopened will last a bit more but if it has been opened and over a year old take it to your nearest center that will take in hazardous material and get rid of it. It is not really worth the saving of $20 per gal to keep.

How To Store Paint

no, you can't store it in the garage--says right on the label--keep from freezing. when you use paint that has been frozen on an object--it won't dry unless you bake it in the oven for a couple hours. can't really put a wall in the oven. lol

You don't want the paint to freeze, so unless your garage is heated, don't store it there.

alot depends on how cold it will get , normaly you dont want to store paint where it can get below 50 degrees but if it freezes its most likely ruint.
