Wrong.

Right or wrong, someone has to reinstall it.

Wrong, you damaged their line.  Your car is your responsibility, so if
I damage it while it's sitting there parked, you'll want to pay for
it, right?

Good thing nobody got killed.  (Or, at least you didn't mention it!)

Sorry Mark, you're outa luck on this one!  (BTW, it's easy for people
to say the contractor should pay, but you may have to sue him, and
what if he's a fly by night?  You want electricity to your house,
you'll have to pay first and go after him later.)
