Under all policies of insurance, custom and practice is for the policy to set forth what is covered under it for your yearly premiums subject to any and all "exclusions" set forth within the policy. IF the homeowner's policy has an exclusion within it as to "organic shingles" specifically stated, such is allowed under all insurance code provisions of all states in this country.

Given the uncertainty that you seem to have over your insurance policy, I suggest that you consult with an attorney that practices in the area of insurance law.
