Accidents happen. When something goes wrong, people want someone to pay for their loss. You can either pay using YOUR money or can use the insurance company 's money. This is why insurance is important to a contractor.

Can I accept property money damages from both my contractor's insurance co and my homeowners insurance?

No!! It is highly illegal for you to do this. When you make a claim on you home insurance for something that was the fault of your contractor you sign over all subjugation rights against this contractor to your insurance company. This means that if your home insurance pays any part of this claim you give them all your rights to go after the contractor, which they will do. They will go to the contractor and their insurance company to get reimbursed for any amount they paid plus costs. In most states it is considered insurance fraud for you to even try to collect damages from two places for the same claim.
