    Unfortunately, I've come to learn over time that the best options for home improvement stuff usually turn out to be the more expensive ones and are often a pain in the ass labor-wise

    It's funny how it always works out that way.

    I hate having to look at a sub-par job for all of eternity when I know I could have done it better/the "right" way.

    Yeah, definitely get that. You end up living with a reminder of your own impatience

    You should be fine laying new steps on the existing provided they’re in good shape. (Relatively level, no cracks)

    Cool, these do seem like they're in decent shape so tearing that out seems like a shame.

    I would probably at least pull that bottom layer of decorative pavers out and lay new corner pavers there to provide a better base for the steps

    Certainly couldn't hurt. Seems like the other steps may just be on a bed of cinderblocks, can't quite tell though. Should probably try to match that while tearing the other pavers out.

    Do you think these steps were bound with something like pl500? Doesn't look like mortar to me
