Damage to Property Exclusion Applicable to Loss?

Our insured was hired to lay carpet in a customer's home. As the insured and his two employees were carrying the carpet into the home, the carpet scratched the ceiling, the trim, and various pieces of furniture. Based on the CGL form, I would say that the ceiling and furniture damage is covered, but the damage to the baseboard trim would not be. I think the baseboard is related to the laying of the carpet and so, is the insured's work and is excluded from coverage. What is your opinion?
