If your not familiar with networking, I wouldnt touch it..
If you have time and willing to learn, you can DIY, just pick some networking books from chapters... good info... You could prolly find tons online for free... but reading it from the books is worth while, you can always re-read incase you forgot something instead to dig it up from online again.. sometimes it can get frustrated..
Are the cat5 cables even labelled so you know which cables runs into which room? I hope so...
Also.. that dumbass should have used cat5e at least... supports higher bandwidth incase you have lots of people connecting..
BTW, I would have gone with Powerline adaptors instead of re-wiring cat5 cables. Heard lots of positive things and could be cheaper in the long run then paying a tech to wire(re-wire in your case).

This is what a Networking Patch Panel looks like, yours is going to smaller.. the backside is where yo put fuses.
I wouldnt really recommend a patch panel for homes...
