Power-rake it and seed it yourself. It'll grow in faster, and you'll be more satisfied with the outcome. If you use shade grass seed, and your lawn is part shaded, part sunny, it'll look great. I find that a 2:1 mixture of fescue and bluegrass will give you an amazing, thick lawn. Water frequently, fertilize lightly until it grows in. After that, you'll want to fertilize as much as the package says is the max, and water heavily (fertilize before a heavy rain for the lazy guys like me) and you'll have a nice thick lawn after a couple of months.
For fertilizer, I use a pesticide and weedkiller combo until it's grown in, and after that alternate using plain fertilizer and pesticide/weedkiller. If you use something other than plain fertilizer, keep pets and kids off for a few days.
