Default Vent stack too short at roof

I just had a plumber help me with some remodeling. One of the items he
did was swap out my old cast iron stack with a black PVC stack... well I
got up on the roof today, and the darn thing is practically flush with
the rubber boot (maybe an inch or so beyond it).


We're in Ohio, so I think code says it has to hit 12" because of snow.
What are my options? My plan was to simply buy a coupler and another 12"
of pipe and try to pvc-glue it together... is that allowed by code?


@John - He was sort of shady in general, so i'd rather be done with
him and just not call him back.

@Ricod - I want to say 6" but I'll have to climb up and confirm that.
The concrete is still curing downstairs so I can't get at it from the
base yet. It's definitely black plastic (pvc?) as I could see the
interior when they were cutting pieces and it was black all the way
through.

@DM - Thanks, maybe I'll give the county a call in the AM and find
out.
