If his house is like mine (built in 2014), he probably has a combination of both RJ-11 and RJ-45 jacks in the rooms, all connected back to the low-voltage panel with cat5e cable. I would guess that an electrician could swap out the RJ-11s for RJ-45s and make sure all 8 (or 4) wires are connected. I am curious as to what the OP is trying to do.

Look in the white Leviton box in your garage where the irrigation controller is. If you see a few blue colored "Cat5" cables wired in there already, then the jacks throughout your house are likely already ethernet. They're just waiting to be connected to something.
