Default headache lawn

I live in NY. I redid my front lawn (20x20) two years ago with Scotts seeds. I'm guilty of not following a regiment to prevent weeds from growing. Recently I wanted a fresh start so I applied Scotts Summerguard (Insect protection and Fertilizer) and the results were horrific. Part of my lawn was burnt and the part that is still good started weeding even faster (clover+crabgrass). Scott already said they will reimburse me for seeds+product because I did not misuse it. Bottom line though, my lawn is in pretty bad shape and even worse, my lawn is continuous with a neighbor, whose lawn is fine but I don't want my problem to become his. I thought I would apply a weed control agent after the summerguard application but I'm not sure if it is wise to apply another "product" right after summerguard application. The burnt spots I probably need to reseed but I'm not sure what I should do with the all the weeds cropping next to my neighbor's side of the lawn. Short of pulling weed by hand or redoing my lawn entirely... any other suggestions?? And even if I have to pull the weeds out leaving bare spots.. should I reseed the area immediately afterwards or just wait until early fall to do any reseeding?? Thanks for any response.
