I've been leaning on my dad's advice for this. Our method is not very complicated. Time will tell how successful this becomes.
Step 1 - Apply some weed killer and mossout to burn off as much weed/moss as possible.
Step 2 - Power rake the whole thing, then clean off the clippings.
Step 3 - Applied new soil on top. Ordered a couple yards from headwater. Shared with the neighbours.
Step 4 - Seed with Scott's Turf builder. Then apply Scott's lawn starter.
Step 5 - Water 2x per day. Always keep the soil wet.
Step 6 - Cross fingers and toes. If this fails, wife will be upset.

Pretty happy with how my lawn turned out this year. It's definitely turned into a little hobby of mine and I am enjoying maintaining it.
