In most situations, pulling cable in a private residence is problematic
unless the builder or a recent homeowner installed empty conduits with
pre-strung pulling cords in it. 

(I did this when I rebuilt the floor in my family room years ago).

Overall, I'd rate pulling cable and making the finished wall jacks look
good to take so much time that going wireless is by far the best way to
go.

In the case of paying a contractor to come in and pull the cable/install
the jacks for you< wireless is going to be much lower cost.
