CGL damaged property question


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

Hello.

A contractor I hired to do renovation work botched the installation of a marble tile floor in my master bath room and shower. The floor has waves and pointy ends and is poorly grouted. The shower floor doesn't slope toward the central drain but rather collects water in the corners about 1.5 inches deep. I supplied the marble--approx. $2,200 value purchased independently. To re-do the bath will require removing and destroying my expensive marble. I believe I have a good case against him but doubt I would collect much. I'm hopeful I have a case which his Commercial General Liability policy would cover.
QUESTION: Could expensive marble tiles rendered worthless by shoddy workmanship be considered damaged property covered by a CGL policy where the insured didn't actually break anything, but rather necessitated their destruction through poor workmanship? I'd love it if the policy covered this. I'm in Texas.

Thank you very much for your informed opinion.
