For Medieval Times what was the roof called for a serf's house?
I am going to take that question to mean "what was a peasant's roof made of in medieval times?" The most common, and least expensive way, to construct a roof was using a material called thatch. A thatch roof is made of thick mats of dried vegetation such as grass, reeds, sedge, etc. When properly constructed it is water and wind proof, and also an excellent insulator, helping to keep houses cool in summer and warm in winter.

Thatch is made by bundling together long, stiff reeds. The thatch is then tied down to the roof rafters so as to repel water. This works pretty well, lasts a long time, and is cozy. The down sides are that it is very expensive today, and it is said to be a place where vermin can live.

Were medieval peasants' houses elaborate?
No. Not even close. A medieval peasant, if he had a house, probably didn't "own" it, because all of the land and buildings were owned by the lord. The floor was dirt, perhaps with some straw thatch. It was probably one room, perhaps with a half-attic. In winter, the animals probably stayed in the house at night because there probably wasn't a barn, or even a lean-to shed on the side of the house. The roof was probably thatch, there was no running water, and probably not even an outhouse.
