Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senator Ted Stevens received more than $188,000 in goods and services to remodel his house in Alaska that he never paid for, jurors at his corruption trial in Washington were told.

Four employees of Veco Corp., an Alaska oil-services company, testified today they provided thousands of dollars worth of construction, wiring, roofing and other work on the home near Anchorage.

``I worked out there for four months, six days a week, 10 hours a day,'' at $27 to $29 an hour plus overtime, said Roy Dettmer, an electrician who worked for Veco, now owned by CH2M Hill Cos. In all, Dettmer said he performed ``about 400 hours of work on the house.''

The workers' salaries and the materials they used were charged to the company, not the senator, prosecutors said.

Stevens, 84, is charged with failing to report more than $250,000 in home improvements and gifts from Veco on his Senate financial disclosure forms. Lawyers for Stevens deny wrongdoing and say the senator paid every bill he received.

Cheryl Boomershine, an employee in Veco's accounting office, testified that a search of company records turned up only two checks received from Stevens in 2003 and 2005 for a combined total of $2,310, mainly for unrelated travel expenses.

The indictment against Stevens said that over six years Veco and the company's former chief executive officer, Bill Allen, provided unreported free labor and materials to install a new first floor, garage and other improvements for Stevens's house in Girdwood, Alaska.

Allen is scheduled to take the stand on Sept. 29.

The case is U.S. v. Stevens, 08cr231, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
