I have build a basic house but I would like to use different textures for the roof and walls. Here is what I have now.
The brick texture is on the roof when i want it to be a different texture

The simplest way if the texture isn't UV-mapped, is to assign each face to separate materials in Edit mode:
then assign appropriate texture to each material, as needed. Otherwise if the texture uses UV map, just separate the UV maps for both sections of the object:
then paint each sections with the appropriate color (the roof is the top section, in this picture).

You can also create a separate UV layer in Object Data > UV maps:
Blender Internal:
Assign a different material to the roof faces, then select the alternate UV map in the material texture settings:
Cycles:
In cycles the alternate UV map can be selected in a node setup with the Attribute node:

$\begingroup$ Can UV maps also be used in attribute nodes? I was only aware of vertex colors. $\endgroup$ – bzal Aug 29 '16 at 12:56

$\begingroup$ @bzal Yes, they can. However a separate "UV map" node has been added since this answer was written. In most cases you'll probably want to use that instead. $\endgroup$ – gandalf3♦ Aug 29 '16 at 17:45
